The much discussed Fifty Shades of Grey arrives as a paperback today, though one wonders if readers will be as willing to read it if they must shed the privacy of the e-reader. Also out is the gorgeous retrospective, The Art of Daniel Clowes. The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright and MAN Asian Literary Prize winner Please Look After Mom by Kyung-Sook Shin are new in paperback.

Man, I work at a B&N in a highly conservative area of Texas and we couldn’t keep that book in stock for more than a couple days before RH picked it up. Even the old ladies previously asking about Bibles and such would sheepishly come up and ask where they were kept.
It’s a freakin’ epidemic. So much for the shame of reading smut in public!
