Great, replace one book about an abusive, needy asshole with another.

I really, really like the effect 50SoG has had on the ability to discuss sex with women. It's unprecedented in my experience as a legitimate discussion topic. 'Have you read that book yet?' Bloody fantastic!

What you might call a captive audience.

Yes, only yesterday I was asking an old lady on the bus whether she preferred plastic or metal butt-plugs.

Please, i discuss sex all the time without losing my brain cells to bad 'literature.'

That's not the point. You're of an age and culture and live in a city which is unique in it's liberal attitudes. There's a world outside NYC which is very different.

But what do you do if they look at you blankly and say "Have I read what?"  If people on this forum weren't talking about it, I might think 50 Shades of Grey was a minimalist interior design how-to.

It depends on the person. Some I'll just say, oh go and have a look the next time you're in Sansbury's or Waterstones.

The whole phenomenon is bizarre. It's on prominent display in airports, and people read it openly on the bus. In a country as prudish as we are, that's saying a lot. I've never seen anyone read anything erotica in public here till now.
Also, I read the first chapter and the writing sucked  (It was a free download)

That's the bad thing about erotica -- writers tend to be lazy with it because they assume sexy writes itself.  It doesn't.
