Fifty Shades of Brains

   I discovered this site when an author I follow on Facebook posted that there was a ARC giveaway of her latest book.  It's called LibraryThing.  I signed up and I won a couple ebooks.  This was the first one I won, and I'm so glad that I did.  It was hilarious, and was written better than the book is was parodying.  I made a list of all the inner personalities that the heroine has, my favorite was the last one on the list.  Also I loved that in this version there isn't a Mrs Robinson, but  Rue McClanahan, who is his “Golden Girl” I loved that.  It was a lot of fun to read.

My favorite lines from the book
·         “That’s why I came,” he said.  “To protect you.  There’s something about you, Aurora.  Something completely irritating, yet irresistible, like a badly written BDSM novel.  I’m finding it impossible to stay away.”
·         “It’s not a fucking piñata,” Caligula hissed.   “Open your goddamn eyes.”
·         Appendix 1: Rules
Flip back to Chapter 7 if you really need to read these again.  What kind of book would print these twice or three times?  (On second thought, here it is.  It helps pad the page count.)
·         “. . . her caregiver moves aside barely glancing up from her book.  I look at the cover, wondering what the hell could be so engrossing.  Who would read a book about a grey silk tie?
·         “I scan the room, trying to locate a weapon.  The other patient is long gone; the caregiver as well, although she’s left her book.  I wonder briefly if I could somehow smash his skull with the thing, then quickly dismiss the idea.  Too lightweight.  I need something more substantial.”
