Hey everyone. Welcome.

Another edition of 372 pages will never get back.

This is the podcast about bad books, and we are on a doozy, the Mr.

by PD... the podcast about bad books and we are on a doozy the mister by uh pd carl or something i don't know

what el james it's like uh it's like quick draws mcdraws al alaubon el james yes that's right that's how

i'll remember it from now on thank you for that mnemonic device.

I was looking for her book. I posted something over for our Patreon people, and we'll tell everyone who we are in a second.

Sure. But I was combing a half-price books. I don't know if that's a national chain or not, but there's one here.

And I couldn't find E.L. James. I thought there would be an entire section of hers.

Wow. But I went to fiction, nothing. I kept finding people like Hemingway and crap like that.

And then I went to the romance section, and there were, you know, it was just packed to bursting with bodice rippers

and she was not represented but then but then my wife said ahoy she was up at the front of the

store mike mike and then it was in a big display a shrine was the mister but i couldn't find any

of her other books but that's bizarre yeah i, I assumed there would be just, you know, bins of it, just, you know, huge dumpsters of this stuff.

Right, people wheelbarrow in their copies of the books once they're done with them.

I don't know, maybe they occupy a special place in people's shelves even once they're done reading them.

Like you display your, like a college kid displays his DVDs on a shelf next to his TV.

Right.

Yeah.

Or the people just snap them up right away.

So I guess I have to be there on, you know, EL James Tuesday or whatever and be in the

front of the line to get them.
