The first Shades of Gray book :roll: The trilogy forced on me by my friend as must reads. The worst writing I have ever read,if I have to read that girl exclaiming 'Holy Crap' once more I will scream. All her virginal like inexperience sex talk started of as fun to read but half way through book one it is getting a wee bit boring ....
However .... the male character is voyeuristically fascinating and it is his character that is keeping me hooked to this trash that I can't put down :oops:
This is an at home read only though,not a book I'd want to leave lying around at work or on the bus.It would seem weird reading soft porn in public,no matter how badly written it is :?

I keep hearing about this book - which I will never read - and it reminds me of all the noise surrounding the Dan Brown books about six or seven years ago. I expect practically every commuter in London will be sitting on the tube reading this crap and gossiping about it at work.
I can just picture the bookshelves in the homes of these people: Dan Brown 'The Da Vinci Code'. Dan Brown 'Angels And Demons'. The Harry Potter books. And now 'Fifty shades of grey'.
I'm so glad I don't have to share a train with those morons anymore.

I was at the beach yesterday. Saw 3 different women reading... all of them reading 50 shades
I just started The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A. N. Roquelaure (Ann Rice). The first book of three. Sounds like its going to be way more gruesome than 50 shades.

I absolutely hear and agree with the valid point you made.That is why I am so taken a back at how this book was like a parasite under my skin.
I never read any of the Dan Brown books and as I am not a child I had no reason to read Harry Potter,I always find it rather alarming when I see adults reading childrens book and not to children.A friend of mine kept telling me one of the Harry Potter books she was reading was so 'dark' :roll: I think not!
I was at the beach yesterday. Saw 3 different women reading... all of them reading 50 shades
I just started The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A. N. Roquelaure (Ann Rice). The first book of three. Sounds like its going to be way more gruesome than 50 shades.
The copy I am reading is remaining firmly in doors and will be hastily returned to said friend once read :?

The Harry Potter series is great. I had the same issue with it being 'kids books' but it is my friends favorite books so i finally gave the first book a try and that started it all. It is well written, a great story, though some talk about plagiarism, still a worthy read. Anyone who likes to read should at least give Potter a chance. I can see blowing off Dan Brown and Twilight and its porn rip-off 50 shades, cause everything ive heard about any of these is that its mediocre story with sub-par writing, at best. Potter on the other hand, a good fun read that isnt insulting to your intelligence.
currently reading Ringworld by larry niven. Liking it so far.

Trickster Makes This World: How the Disruptive Imagination Creates Culture - Lewis Hyde
'Picasso disrupted the World around him, and in doing so he reshaped it. That is the Trickster spirit: playful, mischievous, subversive, amoral. Tricksters are a great bother to have around, but paradoxically they are also indispensable heroes of culture, because our World - with it's complexity and ambiguity, it's beauty and it's dirt - is Tricksters creation, and the work is not yet finished.'
In Trickster Makes This World, Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He first visits the old stories—Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna in India, Coyote in North America, among others—and then holds them up against the lives and work of more recent creators: Picasso, Duchamp, Ginsberg, John Cage, and Frederick Douglass. Twelve years after its first publication, Trickster Makes This World—authoritative in its scholarship, loose-limbed in its style—has taken its place among the great works of modern cultural criticism.

At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait, The River of Doubt is the true story of Theodore Roosevelt’s harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth.
The River of Doubt—it is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-tipped arrows haunt its shadows; piranhas glide through its waters; boulder-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron.
After his humiliating election defeat in 1912, Roosevelt set his sights on the most punishing physical challenge he could find, the first descent of an unmapped, rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon. Together with his son Kermit and Brazil’s most famous explorer, Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt accomplished a feat so great that many at the time refused to believe it. In the process, he changed the map of the western hemisphere forever.

Halfway through this one, if anyone is a fan of historical fiction and you dont know who Cornwell is 'you better axe somebody.'

Yeah I know :( I need to just finish it and get over it already. My one friend finished it recently, called me, and with the saddest voice I've ever heard in my life said he's never been so devastated and that he didn't know if he could go on without more Song of Ice and Fire to read

I read the first 2 in a row between 2nd and 3rd publishing date and then when the 3rd came out I read that. Read 1,2 & 3 again when 4 came out and all 4 again prior the 5th one. Exhausting to think I will read 5 big ass books prior to the next one. I do this for a few reasons -- 1) as many of us do, I read too many damn books w/convoluted story lines to remember what t he hell happens when the next one comes out year(s) later.....and 2) I love being in the world that GRRM created.

Harry Potter books are very well written. I don't know that I would call them children's books, but if they must be labeled I guess. I don't recall seeing many children's books 800 pages long. I read them, but don't consider myself a big fan. They do deserve props and should not be lumped in with Twilight, 50 Shades, or Dan Brown.
Just finished "Gone Girl". Definitely not a children's book!

However ....
This is an at home read only though,not a book I'd want to leave lying around at work or on the bus.It would seem weird reading soft porn in public,no matter how badly written it is :?
I keep hearing about this book - which I will never read - and it reminds me of all the noise surrounding the Dan Brown books about six or seven years ago. I expect practically every commuter in London will be sitting on the tube reading this crap and gossiping about it at work.
I can just picture the bookshelves in the homes of these people: Dan Brown 'The Da Vinci Code'. Dan Brown 'Angels And Demons'. The Harry Potter books. And now 'Fifty shades of grey'.

Harry Potter books are very well written. I don't know that I would call them children's books, but if they must be labeled I guess. I don't recall seeing many children's books 800 pages long. I read them, but don't consider myself a big fan. They do deserve props and should not be lumped in with Twilight, 50 Shades, or Dan Brown.
Just finished "Gone Girl". Definitely not a children's book!
