Amazon.com: Fifty Shades of Greyscale

Fifty Shades of Greyscale
A Listmania! list by John Williamson (NYC & Bucks County, PA)
The list author says: "You're no doubt well aware now of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series of books written by Erika Leonard, better known by the pseudonym E. L. James. She's the author of the bestselling erotic novel “Fifty Shades of Grey” along with its sequels. James initially wrote fan fiction under the pen name ‘Snowqueens Icedragon’, with her most notable work being a Twilight fanfiction that was eventually developed into Fifty Shades of Grey. At the time of this writing, the Fifty Shades of Grey titles are dominating the bestseller lists on both Amazon.com and on the New York Times. They also top the 'Most Wished For in Books' list as of this writing. The series has sold around 20 million copies, with book rights having been sold in 37 countries. That's the thumbnail version. But grey has a number of interesting connotations. In photography (and in computing), a greyscale or gray scale digital image is one in which the value of each pixel is a single sample, that is, it carries only intensity information. Images of this sort are composed exclusively of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest. And it’s funny how greyscale also relates to the Fifty Shades of Grey and the growing number of spinoffs and parodies, especially in terms of intensity. Some of these you may enjoy; others you may wish to shun. In any case, you’ll hopefully at least be more well versed in this topic. This List is will hopefully help you, the reader, to navigate the occasional shoals and even if you don’t purchase the books and/or other items related to the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon of 2012. On the other hand, I'm waiting for the rumored parody "Fifty Shades of Home Depot" considering that the stories are said to have also contributed to the rise of female shoppers rope aisle in hardware stores seeking 12-gauge, non-braided nylon rope. Happy reading... but I digress."

1. Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E. L. James

The list author says:
	"What better place to start with the first one, a GoodReads Choice Awards Finalist for Best Romance. But the best part of this is the array of reviews, and be sure to put your coffee down before reading some of these. Be prepared for a very kinky read, and my nominee for the 'Book With the Most Annoyingly Overused Phrases" for 2012."

2. Fifty Shades Darker: Book Two of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E. L. James

The list author says:
	"It's awful, the writing needed an editor with at least a bit more education than a ninth-grade dropout, and the typos are atrocious. There's graphic BDSM, but as one reviewer said: "... sensuality is once again hot, hot, hot." If that's your thing, read Book One first then go for it."

The list author says:
	"Here we have product endorsements (Audi, Saab and more), emotional instability, fun with shaving (he shaves her and she shaves him), smirking, muttering, blushing and lip-biting, and then there's her 'inner goddess' constantly speaking. Of course there are the handcuffs, just as you see on the cover."

5. Fifty Shades of Beige: Book One of the Fifty Shades Parody (Reid Mockery) by Reid Mockery

The list author says:
	"Fifty Shades of Grey was bound (no pun intended) to inspire some parodies, and in this one by Reid Mockery, readers are introduced to Annis Thesia, a naive young graduate who becomes intoxicated sensually by billionaire Bobby Beige. I had to review it, and this Kindle edition is the best of the parody titles, and in my subjective opinion, it's better written as well."

Repulsed and drawn to it all, Marcia comes to Joe with a request: can he be her Christian and she'll be his Ana? At only 22 pages, if you're into that genre known as 'dumpsterotica' then this is the one for you."

In photography we don’t need fifty shades of grey to make an outstanding image."

Take a break and look at Stephen Colbert's extremely witty book here, one that you won’t have to hide from anyone. It’s the wittiest under 10-minute title that I've thumbed through and then read this year... and maybe last year as well. And thanks for reading all of this!"
