Fifty Shades of Grey

So, I finally finished "The Hunger Games" trilogy. Even though it's young-adult fiction, I couldn't put it down. Great series of books. Now, I have to find time to see the movie (and, yes, I'm still Team Peeta).

My book club's next read?


Oh. My. God.

Have you read it? Thoughts? Probably difficult to share in a blog forum such as this. I'm about half-way through. Again, OMG.

Universal Pictures has acquired the film rights to the trilogy and now the buzz is about who will play Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Ever since I saw a number of the suggestions on various media sites, I've concluded that these two need to play Christian and Ana:

Henry Cavill

Elizabeth Olsen

There you go.

I'm around page 100 and I'm getting kinda freaked out! The room? No thank you. I keep thinking it can't be too crazy because women are reading it all over the country....

My book club also toyed with the idea of reading this...

Have to read it to comment but that actress has a lovely innocence. We couldn't read this as many of our book club are men, actually maybe we could...

Still trying to decide if I'm going to read it or not. I'm on book 3 of Game of Thrones (and loving it- though I do have to read a different sort of book in between as they're so long I can't do them all at once). I'm waiting on Insurgent from the library. If you haven't read Divergent yet (Veronica Roth), make sure it's on your list. Similar to Hunger Games but WAY better. Everyone I know who has read it has loved, loved, loved it.

I just couldn't do it. I read about 20% into it and couldn't get past the writing skills. In addition, the subject matter is just not my "thing."
