Fifty Shades of Biting My Lip
If you've been hiding under a rock, then you have not heard of this book that is all the rage, Fifty Shades of Gray. I heard about it back in spring, when my friend Joyce told me she was reading it, liked it, and planned to read more of the books. Then my sister, normally not one to fall prey to that genre of book, told me I should read it 'since everyone else is' and thus, I'd have a topic of conversation to share. Um, me? The one who was embarrassed to blog about underwear, seriously talk about Fifty Shades as a conversation starter with people I'm not really close friends with. Yeah, that is not happening. As it happens, it got mocked on a message board I visit, there was a blogger parodying it, and there have been several videos 're-enacting' the dialogue. I got the gist, found out that it was a Twilight fan-fic piece with names changed and the writing was rather simplistic. Um, no, a book based on sparkly vampires is not earning my rare pleas...
