ICYMI: Charity shops want you to please, PLEASE stop donating this book.

In case you missed it, Oxfam want nothing to do with your used copies of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Lately, the charity shop has been inundated with books from the series and have publicly announced that “enough is enough”. It would seem that the supply is far, far, outweighing the demand.

So, what are we meant to do with all our used erotic literature? Monique Bowley, Kate de Brito and Mia Freedman offer their suggestions.

You mean there's not a huge market for second hand pornography? I'm shocked!
Our local YMCA has a book fair every Easter, and I went on the last day this year. Loads of books had been sold, but I must have seen at least three complete sets of the 50 Shades books. I guess it's not just the UK!
