It is no secret that I read romance novels. When I saw that the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy had hit the NYT Bestseller list, I thought I was finally vindicated! So I downloaded the books and read them over a weekend.

I hated them. I thought they were very poorly writen, and weren't very erotic for erotica. But they were bestsellers - obviously, I didn't know good writting.

But this writer for the Chicago Tribune thought the same thing:

So, did you read the books? What did you think?
