50 Shades Book Club
Ok, guys. This book. This book is so awful.
I'm gonna need some support to finish reading it. Would you like to be part of my 50 Shades support group by reading along with me, book-club style? We'll read a few chapters, then bitch about them. If you end up liking the book, you are more than welcome to explain why, and your views will be considered but probably strongly disagreed with. NO PRESSURE.
I'm stuck on chapter three. I read a paragraph and then think of five hundred way more interesting things I could be doing.
A friend of mine wanted to start up a "Horrible Books" book club pretty much specifically for this book, and we were going to read it together, but I think it would be fun to have a BUNCH of us in on this.
Who's in? It'll officially start Monday, I think. So get your books, fire up your Kindles/Nooks/iPads/WhatHaveYou, download your torrents, etc. and have them in your paws by Monday, when I shall issue the first reading assignment.
For now, though, I'd like to bitch about a particular scene in chapter two: Chick works at a hardware store. Dude comes in to presumably stalk her (Edwardish) and buy crap for his sex dungeon. But of course she doesn't KNOW about his wacky sexcapades yet.
He buys zip ties and masking tape. THESE ARE PRETTY NORMAL ITEMS. LOTS of people purchase these things. But he asks for them one at a time, and BOTH TIMES, she's like, "ZIP TIES?????????????????????????? WHAT COULD HE WANT WITH THOSE???? MASKING TAPE??????????????????????????????????? WHO BUYS THAT???"
*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*
And THAT is an example of just some of the fine, intellectual conversation we will have about Fifty Shades of Grey in our book club.
