America loves kinky sex novels

Citizens of America, you are into some kinky sex (or at least reading kinky erotica). Here’s the proof:

The number one best-selling fiction book on the New York Times’ Best Sellers list is “50 Shades of Grey” by first-time author E.L. James.

The number two best-selling book is the follow-up, “50 Shades Darker.” The third best-selling book is the final novel in the BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism, masochism) trilogy, “50 Shades Freed.”

The first two books in the erotic trilogy have been on the best seller list for eight weeks, and the final novel has been on the list for seven.

James, “not a great writer” by her own admission, started writing the series as “Twilight” fan-fiction. You know, the kind of writing where an author imagines what kind of sex Bella and Edward would be into once they got a little older, and said author presumes that they would be into some really kinky stuff.

Now, the books are literally the only thing people in America are reading these days. Once someone takes a peek into the bedroom activities of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey — yes, those are actually the names of the characters — in the first novel, the reader apparently cannot get enough and so they are thrust into the last two books.

For those of you who have already salivated over all three novels, you will soon get the chance to see all the action on the big screen once “50 Shades of Grey” is made into a major motion picture.
