I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

I already posted that link. The reviews of all three books are brilliant.

Hotel replaces Bible with Fifty Shades of Grey
What do you keep in your bedside table drawer? Maybe a flashlight? Some reading glasses? A secret sex toy?
For many, this drawer is a hiding spot for sexy secrets. But not hotels. In hotels, it’s usually the most pious place in the room, housing the Gideon Bible.
Unless, the hotel in question is the Damson Dene Hotel in England’s Lake District.
(continued, England ain't what it used to be)

Re: 50 Shades of Grey.
Inaccurate! She speaks numerous times about the angel and devil on her shoulder, her conscience and her inner goddess. Her inner goddess is the devil inside her wanting her to experience new things that maybe she shouldn't!Animavore wrote:Lol! She uses inner goddess as a euphemism for her cunny.
Now that I've read the first book, a lot of the reviews I read are highly inaccurate and misleading. I finished the first one at midnight last night and immediately bought the second one. I stayed up another hour reading it! There are definitely some cheesy parts, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! And, hubby got laid after I put the book down last night.

We danced.

Good luck to them I say. Writing Prolefeed deserves it's financial rewards since even the worst hack has to dumb it down to write at that level and still consider themselves a writer. It must take it's toll psychologically.

Mills and Boon, isn't that the very publisher best known (or most infamous), for the Harlequin series of 'romance' novels?Audley Strange wrote:No idea what you're on about.Svartalf wrote:Because Harlequin books don't generally have preposterous plots?Audley Strange wrote:My wife said it's basically Mills and boon with a tad of BDSM and preposterous plots.
