I pay taxes and...I can't make it past halfway in Fifty Shades of Grey

I'm packing it in at page 215.  I know I'm way behind the eighth ball when it comes to getting around to reading this book, but there is absolutely no way I can read any further.  "Fifty Shades of Grey" makes me angry. Here is what I have gleaned so far: So Anastasia is reading "the contract" with a view to signing it to give her more time with the mysterious and horribly attractive Christian. Anastasia - about to finish University, majoring in English Literature; modern; intelligent; never been drunk; never had sex; never had a boyfriend.  How convenient.  Meets Christian - fabulously wealthy; high-powered businessman; sexually intoxicating; control freak; sick sexual master-servant disciplinarian.  Christian spent his adolescent years as a Submissive wearing a dog collar and being led around by his aged girlfriend.  Umm, he's switched to Dominant now and prefers women younger than himself. Encounter # 1.  Christian shows Anastasia his Red Room
