Another decade is about to go in the past, so it is not surprising that many lists of the best appear on the network, with which we happened to face in recent years. And then it turned out that the best-selling book was "50 shades of gray" E.L. James.

But on this good news for the writer did not end, because the continuation of the BDSM Roman "for 50 shades of darker" and "50 shades of freedom" completes the top of the books, which in this decade used the readers with the greatest demand. As a result, the whole series was separated by a common circulation in almost 35 million copies.

What is curious, initially "50 shades of gray" was only a fan fiction on Twilight, which James published on several thematic resources. True, having received comments about overly the sexual nature of the works, she deleted them, changed the names and then placed stories on their own site.

Of course, the fact that someone found the content of books is too depraved, did not mean at all that they would not find their audience. As a result, the series about Christian Gray and Anasteche Stil was even called "Porn for Mommy", which gives reference to the main category of readers of these books.

As a result, James became so popular that they were interested in sharks of the film business. All three books were fused and together brought more than 1.3 billion dollars.
