My friend over at Riffling Pages is doing a chapter-by-chapter blogging as she reads Fifty Shades of Grey. You know the book....the book that started out as a Twilight fan-fic and became the book that almost every person at the pool, on the train, or in waiting rooms seems to be reading. Under the title Fifty Types of Dreck - or, that "book" series everyone loves for some reason she does a wonderful service to humanity...reading the book and letting the world know how terrible it is so you don't have to read it yourself!
Riffling Pages is known for wonderful snark, including reviews of old medical and religious books. It's probably something that should be on your blogroll or daily list of links to check out. A link to her take on chapter 1 can be find here.

YAY! Welcome back, OTO. And don't forget those movies (The Uninvited, Notorious, The Lady Vanishes, Strangers on a Train, Night of the Hunter).
Ahem, back to your post. That was a funny description of the first chapter of THAT book. Hilarious summary, especially when the blogger wrote that what the heroine, Ana, thought was the clencing of muscles deep in her belly was actually her va jay jay. Could Ana be that ignorant? Well, maybe if one is a virgin but with all the sex gadgets on the market, shouldn't she be able to recognize that it was her love cave which was all aflitter? SNAP!
I wonder how many chapters there are in THAT book?
You are awesome for doing this! Thank you :-)
Are you gonna take a crack at it yourself, or just let me do it for you (and the rest of humanity)?
Mark: I have no idea how many chapters there are on it.
Bookswithoutpity! You're welcome! I keep meaning to but haven't been publishing very much lately on here....nor have I been able to find time to read :(
If I ever do read the book, I probably will not do a chapter-by-chapter playbyplay. I'd probably just review the books alone.
That being said, I'm still trying to do a proper review of Twilight apart from my April Fool's joke pst!
OTO is missing in action
Ha! Ha! The Muppets should do a parody of Fifty Shades of Gray
