Fifty shades of how hard is this to figure out?
I did it. I caved. I read Fifty Shades of Gray and the 2 books that follow it. In about 4 days. And yes, they sucked. However, I enjoyed them. I'm not going to lie. I mean they weren't literary masterpieces by any stretch of the imagination, but they were a good time killing escape.
What is cracking me up is what a big deal the media is making about women liking the books and trying to figure out why. For fucks sake, let me break it down for you:
#1 Girls like sex a lot more than we are given credit for. And there is a lot of sex in this book. Let's face it, there is more sex in this book than most people have in 5 years. These people have sex 52 times a day. And we like it, becaue well, we like sex.
#2 But even more than liking sex, we like the idea of having time to have it 52 times a day. It's novel. This girl sort of works, but she can stop 7 times in her 8 hour day to have sex. In closets and offices and elevators and in cars and on desks. Lucky her. We are all jealous that there is nothing preventing her from just having sex wherever and whenever she wants.
#3 Most importantly though, the guy in the book was written by a woman who gets it, even if she sucks as a writer. This guy acts like this girl walks on water. He lights up when she comes in a room. When she isn't there, he tells her he misses her. He pays attention to the things she says. He maks her feel special.
Bingo dummies. See #3 and then see it again. That is why women are going apeshit for this book. We want to have sex-a lot- with a man that acts as if there is not one other woman in the world they want to have sex with. There's your big secret answer.
The end.
