[hey I figure book club is a time to chitter like chickens, right?]

Moving on!
Thanks a bunch, as always, to dear Katlyn for her book club host-age,
{congrats on the new kitty and the college deary!}
and also, as always, mature content may be involved!

"Why do you think this book has become so popular?"

The same reason pepsi became popular, and Hollister cologne, and every other damn thing in the universe with an advertising campaign. sex sells. Don't matter what kind of sex, if it's sex, it has an audience. Rule #34 peeps. There's also the taboo quotient of housewives reading it. But I mean, c'mon, that's been around a long time. Those little well worn paperback romance novels that were really just soft core porn all along. This book is just a little more open about it. That and our fascination with dangerous romance [i.e. vampires and etc] that we've developed. Well. It speaks for itself.

"How do you feel about Ana's subconscious and inner goddess?"

It gave her character a bit more dimension, but not by much. Mainly because the subconscious was always judgmental, and the inner goddess was always rubbing herself over something or other. I mean, I just wish that Ana had a little bit more variation to her. She's either doe eyed innocent, or fighting, or fucking. Are we, as women, really that single faceted? I should hope not. I also wonder why a woman author chose to portray a woman in such a fashion. You'd think that perhaps she'd want to show the subtleties of such a relationship to make it more relatable, but then again, maybe that would take away from the shock sex factor. *shrugs*

Thanks for joinin the okay corral again kiddies.
I hope to see you again soon,
and don't forget to go see what everyone else thought over with Katlyn!
