Fifty Shades of Grey
You can't ignore the sales figures or the popularity of sex and kinky sex at that. Following on from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight this trilogy has hit a nerve (sorry!) and while winning no awards for it's prose and starting with Ana looking in a mirror (a creative writing no-no) it's success is there for everyone to see. E.L. James is a phenomenon.

Fascinating isn't it! What I find more amazing is the huge amount of print copies selling! Erotica is perfect for kindle - because nobody can tell what you're reading - other than by the smile on you face! There's a whole table full of them in Smiths!!!
