This Book 50 Shades Of Grey

[Connemmara]

Haven't read it nor likely ever will. But it comes across as pornographic - what has made this book stand out more than any other porn.

[woofgang]

because it was the first porn for women that was "socially acceptable"

[EcclesCake]

The first Woof? Lace was pretty popular.

50SOG, is not porn by any stretch of the imagination.

[ummmm]

How is it porn?

[Connemmara]

sorry Ummmm - since I have never read it I just assumed it was porn - still wouldn't read it. That me answered.

[ummmm]

I haven't read it either.

[EcclesCake]

It is not porn, just a load of tosh.

It is a lesson in how to write a trilogy that have the readers picking up each book on publication though!

[naomi24]

I'd rather read Dorian's 'Fifty Shades of Green'. ;o)

(I haven't read it either - but I get the impression it's rather 'racy').

[Baldric]

There you go conne, it's even got a plot

Anyway while we are on the subject of books - am fed up of reading these stupid inane magazines that I refuse to buy any more.

Anybody advise me of a kindle so that I can download books - do yous like them and are they heavy to hold and do you really utilise them.

[naomi24]

Love my Amazon kindle. Very light to hold.

[Connemmara]

thanks naomi - could you advise me on one I could buy without looking out for the best and worst blah blah.

Got myself a kindle a few weeks back, downloaded about 15 books for less than £20 and have already read two of them; The Three Graves and Twelve Years A Slave. As i do most of my reading in bed, for about an hour before going to sleep, i find them much easier to handle than books - i read a lot of Stephen King and his books are sometimes quite heavy tomes.

[emmie]

because some like trash, it really sells well, like Mills and Boon with a bit of S&M thrown in.

[naomi24]

Connemmara, I don't know much about the others, but mine is 3G which means that wherever I am I can download books - and I can take a whole library that fits in my handbag wherever I go.

[Connemmara]

emmie talking about the kindle now - sorry for the tangent

[Connemmara]

well Naomi - I would basically be wanting to download a few books and perhaps read them during the day or at night before going to bed. So should I be looking at a basic one whatever that means. Also is there something about them being lit up now and getting a larger font.

[EcclesCake]

Do you want to read just books with it or would you like to be able to browse the Internet too?

[Connemmara]

no just read the books Eccles - do enough of that here on my computer.

[naomi24]

Connemmara, other people can probably advise you better than I can. As I said I don't know much about them, but mine does what I want it to do and suits me fine.

Basic Kindle reader is £69.
