Fifty Shades of Grey
The bestseller parade continues this week with Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. We figured it was time to see what all the shouting was about. Our conclusion is that there is plenty to shout about. We talked about the origins of the book, why we think it’s so popular, why we hate the main characters, and why it was so damned painful to read. We also cover the (rare) redeeming qualities of the book and the characters and delve into social issues and classic literature. Also, this week we present our first ever listener challenge, so listen carefully and see if you want to play along.
This week’s music bump is “Tallis Variations” by Philip Sparke, based on a Thomas Tallis chorale. If you don’t know why that’s significant, you’ll find out by the end of the episode.
