I was in a bookshop today and I overheard this girl trying to convince her friend to get 50 Shades of Grey. I heard "Christian Grey is so hot; he's like a modern Day Mr. Darcy, but he'll whip you if you misbehave." I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

The Library is Open!
Tired of book clubs with choices that don’t appeal to you and demanding deadlines?
Looking for people to chat with about the last book or fanfic you read?
Hate reading with others, but also hate formal book reviews that tell you nothing about whether you will like the book?
Most importantly: Feel like rashly running off with a cad in a uniform?
Come take a look at the Longbourn Library, a reading group for people with broad tastes and wishy-washy time commitment skills. We read everything from classics to contemporary, nonfiction to fanfiction, and chat about everything from nuanced plot to hunkiest literary detective.
