Shades of activities

Random thoughts just before I wrap things up for tonight.

I am exquisitely thankful the 2-day exam is over. Happy moments with review buddies, Eva M. and Pat I. will surely be missed! I look forward to the next stage of this course.

What does 50 Shades of Grey mean?

Shades I know, but what makes it 50? LOL. I have no blonde moments but out of curiosity I downloaded the pdf version of E.L. James' book. Initially, I thought it was just all about the mundane desires of a guy.. Lo and behold.. it was.

The first few chapters of the book was entertaining. I was thinking that the author wanted to get straight to her point--- instantaneous coital relationships with the characters. A great deal of suspension of disbelief is necessary in order to accept the story from the heroine's perspective.

I finished reading it, skipping the lengthy contracts they have included in the first series of the novel. I may have missed in great detail their talk slash quarrel about the food... among other clauses that needed to be struck out. It was too repetitious, phrases (exact) appeared so many times... this is the type of book I wouldn't want to read all over again. 

My copy of James' book is now heading straight to recycle bin and in a few seconds, will be departing from my lappy's hard drive.
