I have not participated in the Book Blogger Hop in a really long time but thought I'd put up a quick post since today's questions is easy. This is a weekly hop hosted by
Crazy For Books.
What is the one genre you will NEVER read?
Easy answer: Erotica
I work in a small library and this whole "50 Shades of Grey" has been very interesting from that perspective. It is amazing who is reading it, my daughter's kindergarten teacher, little old ladies, moms with young children, all clamoring for this book. I'm happy to say that, although I've held it in my hands many times, I have never cracked it open. I wish the public could get this excited over some truly worthwhile reading. Unfortunately, the success of 50 shades means that there will be a lot more erotica in the future.
ReplyDeleteI have no desire to read it either.

Kimi, have to reply to you and say YES YES YES! There are so many wonderful and thought provoking books out there and to see all of this hype wasted on 50 Shades...sigh.
Deleteit's 50 shades of shyt. i hate that crap and how it has managed to make BDSM look as well as how erotica has been painted now, look i know not everyone wants to read erotica, that's cool, i have been reading them for a long time and the books have come a long way NOT all but a good majority have great plots now, This just sets us back even further. UGH i blame Stephanie Meyer and her damn sparkly vampires.
DeleteThat is one of the genres I won't read.....Stop by for my full answer if you like.

Mine was an easy answer too and it was the same as yours!
ReplyDeleteThat was a VERY easy answer for you ;) (and one I agree with)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and happy reading!
Same here. I'll try any other genre, but not erotica. No way. Never, ever.
ReplyDeleteHappy Hopping!
I've actually written erotica, back in college, but it wasn't for general consumption or publication. To me, publishing erotica is like releasing a sex tape. It's kinda tawdry, and could be a much more intimate experience if it were kept personal and private.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Kimi, well put Kimi and I totally agree with you.
ReplyDeletePersonally for me it is Poetry...I don't like it and most of the time it just annoys me. And menage, I only need one other naked person in the room. http://tbr-io.blogspot.com/
