You should have Dork check in to report how it is going while you are reading said book. Atleast if it has the same effect on you as it did my wife :wink:

Figured I should revive this old thread since the Zone seems to be very quiet recently.

I actually read all three of the Fifty Shades of Gray books but was not very impressed by the writing. In my opinion the whole 3 books could have been combined into one if she had not had all those graphic descriptions of their sexual encounters.

Since then I have read many books. The current one I am reading is:

Of course you realize that those graphic descriptions are the whole point of the books?

Writing is subpar, but I did learn a few things.

I just finished the Lee Child / Jack Reacher book "One Shot" that was the basis for the recent Tom Cruise movie. I have a big pile of unread books sitting here. Not sure what's next.
