As to 50 Shades of Gray, I don't plan to read it but if you want to kill a funny half hour, head to Amazon and read the 1- and 2- star reviews of the book. They are a scream, and nearly all of the people who don't like the book say it's ridiculous and written like a 16-yesr-old's fantasy.

Somehow a 21-year-old woman with no experience of sex or even computers (yes, he shows her how to set up e-mail) manages to hook up with a man who is a billionaire at 26. He can pilot a plane, speak other languages, play the piano, is tall, good-looking, extremely well-endowed -- and she instantly begins to experience intense sexual pleasure. Oh, and the guy doesn't do any work, just spends all day sending her sexy messages and having sex, because, you know, that's how billionaires are.
