50 Shades of Withdrawl?

Most popular question I've been getting at the Reference Desk lately: I loved 50 Shades of Grey--what else can I read like it?

A big thanks is due to the good people at USA Today, who have conveniently supplied us with this article including titles of several current and past bestselling erotica novels. Love it or hate it, erotica seems to be a reblossoming genre that has rapidly overtaken the vampire craze. (Fair warning: some of the titles mentioned are available only through Amazon as Kindle books--but as for the rest?  Call the Reference Desk to place a hold.)

As long as I'm on the 50 Shades topic, here's another article you might want to take a look at: the world according to the husband of E.L. James, Meet Mr. Fifty Shades.

Happy (or something) Reading!

Fine. I'll post about it.

So, there's a bit of a phenomenon currently going on in the reading world.  Maybe you've heard about it?  Little ditty called 50 Shades of Grey?
Whatever your feelings on the books or their topic, the uproar is hard to miss.  And part of me feels a little remiss for not writing anything before now.  So without further procrastination, here's the highlights...
1.  Those rumors that it's being made into a movie?  Getting closer to reality. Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti (of The Social Network fame) have been chosen as the producers.  All kinds of rumors about casting are circulating, but none that I feel like we can post here and say "YES! THIS is a trustworthy source!" So I'll let you do your own fantasy casting until more information has been released.
2. USA Today posted an article that, love it or hate it, take an interesting look at what might be so fascinating people.  Check it out: 10 Reasons '50 Shades of Grey' Has Shackled Readers. I'd say the title was a clever play on words, but...
3. Are you familiar with the website goodreads?  If not, take a poke around, they do fun stuff there like this: a geographic analysis of the popularity of 50 Shades. Useful information? Probably not--but still interesting.  And as an added bonus: a short list of read-alikes--for those who just can't get enough!
No doubt I'll cave and post again--but in the meantime, what are your thoughts on 50 Shades?
