Subject: RE: BS: What book are you reading right now
Hiya,

[i]50 Shades Of Grey.[/i] Saw it at a free book sharing scheme. I used to have 2 carers who were obsessed with the series, it was all they talked about, so I thought it must be worth picking up.

I just don't get why – I don't think I've ever read anything so boring. If it had been something like this:

"Hence, wench!" he snaps. "Look not at me for I like it not!"
From the look in his burning eyes I can tell he's ready to reave me in twain with his impressive broadsword.
"Lankin, I......" I whisper, my eyes spilling over.
Why, when there's men all over the world, does it have to be him I can't function without??


I can't wait till I get to the end of the real book, so I can start on one of my folklore books. But then I could read fantasy till it comes out my ears so I probably shouldn't have bothered with it in the 1st place!
