Not everyone reads like that, and that’s totally OK. Reading is what I choose to do with any spare moment of time I can get my hands on. These are people who read books which achieve a high level of popularity and media attention, and there is, to be clear, nothing wrong with them, or with not reading books as a form of entertainment. I’ve spoken to a few librarians and booksellers who have referred to Fifty Shades as a book that appealed to people who don’t usually read.
The book became a viral bestseller, despite paper copies being impossible to find, and when Knopf purchased the rights, the reported price was well into seven figures, and that’s before the movie rights were sold. Then, women started talking about it, publicly saying on the record with their names and the towns they lived in, “This book was great for my sex life.” James' fanfic about Twilight, was sent through a few rounds of “Find and Replace,” and published. Read the last Smart Bitches, Trashy Books on contemporary romance done right.
If you have anything to do with books, whether you’re a librarian, a bookseller, an author, a reader or someone who likes to hang out sniffing the new-paper smell at the newsstand, you’ve probably heard of Fifty Shades of Grey.
