Ahhhhh . . . the old "they were loaned to me" justification.
Obviously you felt obligated to read them, as not to hurt the lender's feelings.
As an aside . . .
Spring for business class, next time.
With the extra room, your thumb will thank you.

I borrowed them because my friend said they were good. I read them all because I was too cheap to buy something else to read on the plane.

I never knew you were a fucking speedreader. It's a 2 hour flight to GA...or less.

I do read fast but there is time at the airport waiting for the flight. Sigh....must everything be explained to you?

A People Magazine would have been a step up.
I'm reading a series now...fuck if I'm going on to the next book. I'd give the first book a C+. I'm not going to waste my time reading another one like it.

50 Shades was an F. I couldn't get through half of it. Thankfully I found the pdf of it online for free, because it is worth far less.
Horribly written, and not even very interesting.
I tried to flip forward to some sex scenes, and they were unreadable. It's like a retard got access to an iPad and banged out a few sentences.

I will admit it, I own and have read all 3.
I read them for some cheap entertainment. Do I base my life upon those books? Absolutely not!!

When these books first came out I thought I might be interested in reading them but as time went on I lost interest because of what people were saying about them. I think I probably have a better imagination than the author. I'm reading James Patterson now, he's about all I can handle these days.
