You wanted, here it is.

Time for another foray into EL James's work of great beauty, Fifty Shades of Grey. Please consult this tag for previous editions.

I will, as usual, be liveblogging this process in this entry. I will give you the same caveats as my co-conspirator [personal profile] coffeesuperhero:
Things I cannot promise you:

+ that I will be funny
+ that I will be sorry for doing this
+ that you will enjoy this in any way

Things I can promise you:

+ I will definitely think I'm funny
+ I will drink a lot

Finally, don't try this at home, kids. (I'm guessing that's going to be a general theme for the book, by the way.)

Let me make a promise to you as well, flist: In this entry, as the others, you will not find me mocking the readers of this "fine" novel. I will be placing blame where it should be placed: on the author, editors, publishers, and characters of this abomination before the Lord. That's also what I expect in the comments. Got it?

I would like to remind you as well that anything I put in "double quotes" is a direct quote from the book. Anything in 'single quotes' is me fucking around. You will think I am fucking around more than I am, trust me.

Mix your drink and let's begin. )

And at page 271, my children, THAT is as much as I can take of this fucking book. Christ on his throne. I had a drink and a half, but I need SO many more.

God almighty.

Hey DW:

Does anybody want to see me pick the Fifty Shades drunkblog back up? Because I am considering it, because I am not good to my liver.

It's that time again, flist.

Time to go deeper into EL James's magnum opus, Fifty Shades of Grey.

God help us all.

I will, as last time, be liveblogging this process in this entry. I will give you the same caveats as my co-conspirator [personal profile] coffeesuperhero:
Things I cannot promise you:

+ that I will be funny
+ that I will be sorry for doing this
+ that you will enjoy this in any way

Things I can promise you:

+ I will definitely think I'm funny
+ I will drink a lot

Finally, don't try this at home, kids. (I'm guessing that's going to be a general theme for the book, by the way.)

Let me make a clarification, before we begin. In this entry, as the last one, you will not find me mocking the readers of this "fine" novel. I will be placing blame where it should be placed: on the author, editors, publishers, and characters of this abomination before the Lord. That's also what I expect in the comments. Got it?

I would like to remind you as well that anything I put in "double quotes" is a direct quote from the book. Anything in 'single quotes' is me fucking around. You will think I am fucking around more than I am, trust me.

Let us begin. )

On that note, ladies and smizmars, I am out. That is another hundred pages down. No idea if I will pick it back up again, but there you have it. Along the way I drank a beer and an Agent Coulson, while hitting myself in the head with my ereader four times.

Good god this is a bad book. It's like ninjas bad.

Today is an important day, flist.

Today is the day I read Fifty Shades of Grey.

I will, you understand, be liveblogging this process in this entry. I will give you the same caveats as my co-conspirator [personal profile] coffeesuperhero:
Things I cannot promise you:

+ that I will be funny
+ that I will be sorry for doing this
+ that you will enjoy this in any way

Things I can promise you:

+ I will definitely think I'm funny
+ I will drink a lot
+ I will finish this book (ETA: It is already clear I am going to go into liver failure before this happens.)

Finally, don't try this at home, kids. (I'm guessing that's going to be a general theme for the book, by the way.)


I am presently on my first few sips of beer (it was going to be cheap shitty beer, but they were having a craft beer sale for no apparent reason, so Fat Tire will be my solace) and the Acknowledgements (I am already giving them the side-eye), so check back periodically.

Here we go.

Fifty Shades of Drinking )

And that is, officially, as much as I can take of this book.

Along the way, we racked up
6 facepalms
15 instances of head-ereader interaction
1 instance of head-beer interaction
4 cans of Fat Tire
1 Agent Coulson
half a bag of Doritos
exactly 100 pages

Time to Pack It Up, ladies and smizmars. Thank you, and good night.
