Ok, so I've now made it to the "turning point" where everyone who's read it says it gets good (aka the first sex scene...)

Remember how I mentioned earlier about the "sausage"? Yeah, no, it was worse... "I begin to enjoy my very own Christian Grey flavored popsicle" *bangs head against wall*

There is so much to say, and most of the people I work with have been deterred from reading it thanks to my running commentary on the book. I mean, seriously, we went from a 21 year old virgin who's never even touched herself into a girl that can give a mind-blowing bj without being taught how. Really????

Ugh.

LMAO. Wow. That is amazing. I gave up on the book, honestly. I have very little patience and that book was just boring.

But maybe now I'll just have to read all of the terrible sex scenes lol

Can you record yourself reading all of the terrible sex scenes out loud with cheesy porno music playing in the background, please?  That would amuse me greatly.

I wonder if someone on YouTube has already done that...

LMAO I did find Ellen DeGeneres's attempt at a 50 Shades audiobook:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on3JCwnwHbU

LMFAO and here's the popsicle line, sung karaoke style on Jimmy Fallon!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imsm9TyI6t0

LMFAO Gilbert Gottfried has one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K1RcKJVbHA

That Jimmy Fallon video is amazing.

"It's such a versatile liquid."

LMAO. New favourite line from a book ever.

LMAO I know, and whatever the line about the inner goddess was.  WTF?  Who thinks that way?!  I mean, I get that it's a Twilight fanfic, and Bella's narration was not exactly "typical teenage girl" either, but wow.

OMG I'm crying with laughter here! Those You Tube videos are so funny.

I wanted to strangle her stupid inner goddess :)

My sister jumped on the bandwagon and ordered all 3 books from Amazon without even reading reviews or the back cover of the book.  I told her exactly what I thought of it (well, the chapters I've read) and she is now regretting buying them as she says she trusts my opinion.

OMG, I asked my mom the other day if any of her friends were talking about 50 Shades of Grey yet, and she didn't really know anything about it, so I said, "Well, DON'T buy it!"

So what did she do?  She bought it for her ereader!  She was like, "Well, you mentioned it; I thought I should see what all the hype was about!"

Um, NO!  I mentioned it when I told you NOT to buy it!  She hadn't started reading it, so I told her everything I knew about it - the Red Room of Pain, the Twilight fanfic origins - and effectively horrified her, I hope!  If she'd just listened to me the first time, she would have saved her money!

I think a lot of people are just buying it because of all the talk.  I'm sure there'll be charity shops flooded with these books before long, lol.
