emma_in_dreamI don’t like to dismiss a book without reading it, so I got *Fifty Shades of Grey* out the library. I can now recommend it… to people who like reading about legal contracts.
Cut for adult content.
Seriously, if you find tendering/negotiating contracts exciting, then this is the novel for you. It had a repetitive structure which went like this:
He emailed me a draft of the CONTRACT. I was very excited as I read the CONTRACT and sent back a suggestion that sub-clause 2(a) referring to the use of gynaecological implements be deleted. He instead suggested a substitution of sub-clause 3(d) regarding genital clamps in the CONTRACT. I was thrilled and agreed to the revised CONTRACT.
Then we had sex. Which was great, obviously.
The next day he emailed me a new CONTRACT with the suggestion that anal plugs be used at clause 8. I was certainly up for negotiations!
I find the mainstream success of this novel baffling.
