I wanted to avoid reading this trilogy as I try quite hard not to conform to "social trends". However, i got my hands on the first book, and had read all three within a week. Literally every waking minute was consumed by those books. I don`t really know why, they aren`t amazingly written, at times really repetitive and the characters suck. But i loved them and felt touched by books in a way I haven`t been for years (I studied literature at university). So, well done E.L James and I can`t wait to see what she does next.

Ha I enjoy things that are lowbrow.
I think it's cool you can stand in your own truth.
We can admit it's a terrible written too.
Besides literature choices.
I would say I have solid taste in music but I also listen to artists who would be considered terrible to most because I see something interesting idk.
It's so bougie to hate on lowbrow content imo.
Sometimes I'll wear old raggedy clothes of mine because it has character and some h&M looking hoe will tell me I'm missing a button while giving me the side eye...

I also enjoy "lowbrow" stuff..it`s just that, at the time, every person i looked at had a copy of those books and I was like "im never gonnae read that..ever"!! And then when I got to the last page of the last book..i cried like an actual baby.

And yeah..i love my old clothes much better than new ones 🙂

I dont purposely avoid trends although I will admit I find it annoying when it seems like people everywhere are ridiculously obsessed with the same thing. Blegh.. Anyways I am intriged by the musical stage production of 50 Shades. That sounds like it has the potential to be very amusing to me for sure. Have not read the book.

I liked it, but understand that not everyone shares my taste. Obvioulsy they are written for pleasure and for a broad audience, so they will not pander to the high standards of some experiences readers/writers. If you are simply looking for erotica, why not on a free site.
