  • Mr. X started the forum topic Group logo of Erotic BooksFifty Shades of Grey in the group Erotic Books 12 years ago

    Discussion of the recent publishing phenomenon – what you liked, what you hated, what turned you off, what turned you on, and what thoughts the book inspired about erotica.

    • I have not read it yet, but I’ve been hearing about it nonstop everywhere–online, in the office, on the radio when I’m in the car. One very big critical thing I’ve heard over and over is that the writing is absolutely elementary, which is something that will drive me nuts. Also, I’m not sure how I feel about the fact that this trilogy was borne of Twilight fan fiction. I know that when I read erotica, I’m usually not approaching it like I would a classic piece of literature, but I also can’t stand mindless drivel. I need a little bit of depth and intelligence, otherwise I’m simply too distracted by how terrible it is to find it sexy at all.
