Bibles have been booted from The Damson Dene Hotel... and E L James’ BDSM erotica novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" has taken its place in every room within the English inn.

Upon request, the front desk of the hotel will provide bibles. TheFrisky goes on to write "...the replacement has caused much controversy, with people in the United States sending “quite a few e-mails quoting the scripture to [the hotel] and suggesting that it would be a good thing to put the Bible back.”

THEFRISKY.COM reports:
Christian Grey is damn near God-like — at least according to guests’ bedside tables in The Damson Dene Hotel.’

I mean, think about it - both the Bible and 50 Shades are popular works of fiction. 50 Shades just happens to be a bit more realistic.

Well, it's only 3,000 miles from the E. Coast, but your point is well-taken anyway lol.

I wouldn't stay there but it's their hotel and they get to choose what to put in the rooms.

I prefer reading the Good Book to reading Mommy-porn.

I am not saying I never see porn.

I do my best to avoid it and I would rather use my time with a real woman.

What I was asking was whether you would still prefer to read the Good Book if the other book was not mommy porn but some literary acclaimed book containing porn - perhaps, Lady Chatterly's Lover or Tropic of Cancer.

Those books don't appeal to me.

I read a lot...all day long mostly technical manuals.

When I am on my own time, I prefer to speak with others.

To answer you question, I would rather read the Holy Bible than 'Lady Chatterly's Lover'.

Fair enough. I haven't read Lady Chatterly's Lover, Tropic of Cancer or 50 Shades of Gray either. I prefer my romance hands on.

Hilarious because 50 Shades of Grey is horrible
But hey when you have the overwhelming urge to read a terrible porn book then I guess it's a good idea

Oh that makes perfect sense; you've never read the story, know nothing about the plot, yet you decide that its "horrible". That's pretty pathetic.

Badly written garbage is what it is, laughable tripe. Pathetic.

reply

You don't know that because you admittedly haven't read it, and what's laughable and pathetic is you referring to it that way when you've never read it.

You have your literature I have mine. If I happen to look at how it is written and on that alone draw a conclusion that the writing has no merit as prose I don't know what I am talking about I cannot make a judgment on it. Must I go through the whole badly written thing before I throw the garbage out the window, I think not.
How many books have you tossed aside because you could not come to terms with the writing or the subject.

Yeah, don't listen to whatshername. I've read all the books and they ARE horrible. The overall story is crap and the sex scenes were just hilarious. Very, VERY bad, let me tell you.

So I wouldn't waste my time with any of those books(or anyone that tries to give you crap for not reading them*hint hint*).

Yeah sdlkfj
I know for a fact that it is, I've read quotes, I've read the plot summary, and I don't like it, therefore I think it's horrible
she doesn't know that you don't have to read a book to know it's horrible omg

Jo to Cellar ... 2012/08/02 01:50:07

she knows, unlike other people, that you cant simply read a few passages and make an accurate assesment of hte trilogy as a whole:)
