I, a woman, cannot believe so many women fell for this shit.

What's it about? A 22-year-old college student who has never had a boyfriend (understandable), intercourse (understandable), or an EMAIL ADDRESS (WTF??? This is modern-day America and she supposedly made it through college having never sent an email in her life!), meets a billionaire/philanthropist/concert pianist/helicopter pilot/self-made corporate CEO who's 26 (WTF???). Together, he tries to be her dom, despite the fact that he doesn't listen to her, doesn't take into account what will actually pleasure her (he tells her, doesn't ask her), and just beats her to assuage his own demons.

And they supposedly fall in love. I couldn't make it past book 2, where NOTHING HAPPENS.

It's one of the worst books I have ever read in my life. If people want to read erotic romance, give Maya Banks, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, or Lorelei James a shot instead. Much better writing and much better character development. This book was so poorly written it was laughably bad.

And women everywhere bought it. I'm embarrassed for my kind...

(Think I'm just being bitter? The Amazon reviews spell it out much better than I just did.)

EDIT: Fixed the link

Yet women have no problem with it.

So Steam should be arbiters of what is a good game or not? Would people be happy if Amazon stop people publishing shitty barely disguised fan fiction 'asset flips'?

These developers have paid to have their game listed. I think that's perfectly fair to sell them if the consumer knows what they are getting. And if the consumer doesn't have to wade through the shit to see good games. I'm not sure what more you want Steam to do other than give people the ability to return games that are terrible and reduce the likelihood they'll try them in the first place. One person's shitty asset flip is another person's DoTA. One person's low-effort engine reuse is another person's Garry's Mod.

> I wasn't quite ready and asked him to stop (which he did, immediately), even though the very next night I realized I wanted him to do it and asked him to.

Yes. Both mixed feelings and token resistance to sex are normal parts of human courtship that feminists are twisting around in order to poison heterosexual relations and wage war on men and boys.

I heard you talking on the radio show one time about how offering a little resistance and making a male lover overcome it can, sometimes, be a turn-on for you. I admire your candor. Form what I´ve seen and heard, it is my impression that there are A LOT of women who feel the same way you do.

In fact, I´d say there are 50 Shades of Women who do.

Fifty Shades of Grey. My wife has been reading it (it's a trilogy). As a result, we've had sex seven out of the last eight nights -- we've been married 19 years and while our sex life hasn't ever been terrible, her horniness level is peaking because of these books.

It's been derisively categorized as Mommy Porn by some, but whatever, she seems to be enjoying it and I have benefited. Too bad she's on the last book in the trilogy already.

Mhmm. Give me the prices!

Thanks! How could I have ever allowed my devotion to the greatest piece of written literature published on the web for free since this book's Amazon reviews?

Yes! http://www.amazon.com/dp/0345803485

I don't have very many books on my book list! AHHHH This must be fixed! Tomorrow though! The cheapest on I have on there honestly is 50 Shades I know. I know. I am bad. But it is $0.22 used!

I'm currently reading Rapture by John Shirley however my book fell apart at the pool and is now in like four different pieces :( Haven't quite figured out how to glue it back together yet. Thanks for the contest You ALL still have Zoidberg!

happy birthday :)

She wants a man who will acknowledge their status as oppressor?

2. I based the template on join forces, which doesn't mention "in turn order".
   
   
3. Originally it was going to count only the continents you visited in the last eighty days (because, you know, the book by Jules Verne), but that made it very crappy.
   
   
4. You can also enchant rule 100.1 which literally makes all other rules stop applying.

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch this, read this, and buy this to help forget about that.

Pun intended?
