Yesterday when a gentlemanly clerk was assisting my 84-year-old mother in her first download on her new Nook (not many maiden experiences left at her age), he politely mentioned that, ahem, a great many ladies seem to enjoy "Fifty Shades of Grey." As you no doubt know by now, that's the title of the sadomasochistic novel being passed around by suburbanite mommies, causing so much uproar that it's become this generation's Lady Chatterley's Lover. My mother, who prefers to partake of Earl Grey, thanked the clerk kindly and downloaded the Bible instead. The Bible was free and Fifty Shades of Grey costs $9.99, which tells you something, though there's considerable overlap in subject matter.
