Who'd have thought it??? The library in Leek has this display, on one of its window-sills, of books of erotica for women - under the generic label Shades Of Grey (after the book by EL James, of course).
Actually, I congratulate the curators at the library. As half the female population (or so it seems) has read EL James, maybe they are just reflecting popular reading habits...
Well! In my day, the most rousing book one could hope to find in a public library was usually one on anatomy. We live in changing times.
I have read some very good contemporary erotica. On the other hand, I've read a handful of pages of EL, and she's beyond awful from the writer's point of view.
