The Huffington Post

News, culture and op-eds from the HuffPost newsroom.

Possibly the only thing more widespread than the book itself is the number of people playing off the title of “50 Shades of Grey” (suggested formula: “50 Shades of” + [insert word that is not ‘Grey’ here]). Some have taken it several steps further and published full parody novels of the bestselling book, as seen above.

Says one HuffPost commenter: “Literature is doomed.” Agree to disagree? Or just agree? And aren’t you just teensiest bit intrigued by “A Coupla Shades of Taupe”?
