So, a friend of mine sent me the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy in PDF form over a year ago.

I haven't read it, because I haven't wanted to...but with the movie out, I decided to see what all the fuss is about. Good God, is it a poorly written book.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from it, that made me laugh out loud at their stupidity:

And from a very tiny, underused part of my brain – probably located at the base of my medulla oblongata where my subconscious dwells – comes the thought: he’s here to see you.

I feel the color in my cheeks rising again. I must be the color of the communist manifesto.

My heartbeat has picked up, and my medulla oblongata has neglected to fire any synapses to make me breathe.

“That’s very profligate of you,” I murmur, bewildered by the choice, though I am hun*gry.

LMAO!!! Who freaking talks this way? Or "thinks" this way? Too freaking funny.

This book is reminding me of that Friends episode where Joey writes a letter to the adoption company for Monica and Chandler and uses a Thesaurus...on every word.

 

:smt043 I love that episode!!

 

LOL! "It's signed Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani".

I'm glad at least some of you knew what I was talking about with that episode. :smt023

Yeah, the writing is very poor, though the sex scenes are pretty hot. But, still, the writing is very poor.

Life doesn’t wait for you to show up. It presumes every day is going as you want it to go. So if it isn’t, it is up to you to change it. Get on your right road and end the drifting.

 

“THERE IS A VITALITY, A LIFE FORCE, AN ENERGY,

A QUICKENING THAT IS TRANSLATED THROUGH YOU

INTO ACTION, AND BECAUSE THERE IS

ONLY ONE OF YOU IN ALL OF TIME,

THIS EXPRESSION IS UNIQUE.

AND IF YOU BLOCK IT, IT WILL NEVER

EXIST THROUGH ANY OTHER MEDIUM

AND IT WILL BE LOST.

THE WORLD WILL NOT HAVE IT.”

~ MARTHA GRAHAM

 

Money is not the root of all evil, fear is.
