A terrible terrible thing has happened. And though I'm actually not surprised, I am disappointed in humanity. The world can get wiped out now. There's no more hope.
Click here for horrible horribleness.
Now, I will admit that I read the first two books in the Shades of Grey Trilogy. You can read my opinion of the first one here. I did not, however, buy these books. I refuse to contribute to the destruction of the literary art form. Some people may claim that I contributed by reading those "books." But I believe in knowing your enemy, and I find it just as loathsome when someone criticizes something that they haven't read. Or tried. It's like saying over and over again that you don't like broccoli, but then you try it and it's pretty good (someday I'll tell you that story). In this case, Fifty Shades of Grey was not good. It was a horrible mess of horribleness and one of humanity's greatest fails. Let's hope that our descendants do not look back on us with too much shame and revulsion.
Maybe this is a sign that you should take your writing career in a smuttier direction? Write a erotic novel with your wonderful literary talent, and make mucho dinero. I'll buy it!
ReplyDeleteEw...why is the world rewarding poor writing? There are HUNDREDS of authors who write erotic or semi-erotic novels. Why THAT one??
