50 Shades vs. Sookie Stackhouse

Well I sure have been trying my darndest to resist reading 50 Shades of Grey, yet somehow I'm okay with myself for reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, on which the TrueBlood series is based. While it's not like every other page contains a detailed description of yet another raunchy erotic S&M scene (so I've heard, based on reviews), the vampire series does dedicate its fair share to detail how sex/feeding might look like between a vampire and a human.

So, if I've already indulged myself in reading this vacuous stuff, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad to get on the Grey train? No, no, I must resist. I mean, I'll give it to you ladies for being so assertive and outspoken about the fact that you like erotica based on a woman diving right into a man's fantasy of power and submission. But seriously, it might as well be an issue of Playgirl, it's so sex-filled. I find it kind of hysterical that there's a huge uproar about men using library computers to look at porn, yet when you look at libraries' electronic books, ALL of the most popular books are these generic romance novels. Folks, this is like women porn. OK, they might not have pictures of penises as centerfolds, but they do have them dripping from the pages in like every other scene.
