I refuse to read it.
Typical Jennifer. When the world seemingly enters into a state of excited delirium at the hottest new movie, clothing item, reality show, restaurant, pop culture term, song, and yes, even book...I shun said flavor of the week, refusing to have anything to do with it. Sometimes this lasts until the excitement dies down. Or after I've stopped caring, and happen to stumble upon some reference to it and dare to investigate.
And here comes the point of this post. I've been hearing about the 50 Shades book for a few months now. It's supposedly the book to read. Book clubs are going nuts. As you can see, I'm not. That's why I've said nothing about it's actual content, I haven't even read the thing. I'm choosing to remain in blissful ignorance. Sometimes it's fun to not know about something, yet proudly speak on it and hurdle stones of judgment. Anyway, I wanted to acknowledge an interesting article I found on CNN, "Fifty Shades of Confused: Why do people like this book? ," I was so intrigued by the title, and so surprised that a naysayer dare show himself. Who is this person who would ask "Ummm, what's so great about it?" to the book's devotees? Give the article a read. Maybe you can chime in on what's so great about it. Or what's not so great about it.
I don't know. Perhaps one day I'll read it. After I read the million other books that actually matter to me and sit collecting dust. When I finish those, I'll gladly open this book's pages to read about torrid sexual encounters, fantasy play, and other things that women and men are raving about.
