Today's Wacky Wednesday topic is the buzzing of a now popular book called Fifty Shades of Grey.
Personally I have NO interest in reading the dang thing! But what amazes me is the amount of people who are pushing this piece of work as something everyone should read to enhance their sex lives. I'm told its a degradation to women for one. Who wants to read about being chained to a bed and call that fun?
.
The other amazing thing is the amount of popular shows that are touting it as good work. The first time I even heard of it was on the Dr. Oz show. He had his whole audience read FSof G then had, I think, four couples he interviewed about it and how it had helped their marriages!
.
Good Grief!!! I don't need a book like that to enhance my marriage! I've been married fourty-eight fantastic years by cracky. (YES to the same man.) Personally deviant behavior is a turn-off to me not a turn-on. I've read so many people's view lately of how it made them want to barf just reading the back cover, that I have no desire to even pick the stupid book up.
.
I have read fifty plus reviews that are all in the negative about this book. Fifty Shades of No Thank You! I'm told that not only is the content bad but so is the writing of it. I say if you're into reading erotica then find something that's at least well written and isn't so degrading.
.
One thing - why deliberately put garbage in your brain? That's like taking poison and saying that it's good for you and will enhance you by doing so.
.
Wacky Wednesday for sure... more like Wacky World to read such filth, then tout it as wonderful!!!
.
... just sayin!

Imdon't want to read it either! That's why I want so badly toput good, uplifting books out into the world.
ReplyDeleteAngie, that's a good idea. Fill our bookshelves with good reading that will make us feel better after putting the book down. Thank you for the comment.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Angie. I'm surprised Stephenie Meyer hasn't challenged the writer in court because it's nothing but a porn fan fiction ripping off Twilight.
ReplyDeleteDonna, that brings to mind a whole other topic - Paparazzi and what they think they have a right to get away with. I'm surprised Stephenie Meyer hasn't challenged it too. Thanks for your comment.
