Twilight
Everybody's heard of...
Everybody's heard of Twilight, right? It's, like, the second or third most popular book in the world (other than HP and Eragon). A classic vampire story- with a twist. Modern vampires that drink animal blood and a romance between a human and a vampire. Funny too. I <3 it! Too bad I haven't read Breaking Dawn, the latest book in the series. Has anyone read it? Is it good?

Uh-huh. Just randomly searching BaB posts at midnight. After I read Dracula (which is awesome, by the way <3) how shall I put this, well, there are a lot of better books than Twilight. Sure, I kind of liked tham, but reading actually worth while books is a much better way to spend your time.
Thus end Lovley Lunegood's brief moments of relization, later which she shall go back to reading Fablehaven and be rudely awoken at 6:30 by her Alarm Clock.

Same here, Mathilda. I used to think they were pretty good, but then I read HP and changed my mind. :):)

I've never read the Twilight books or seen the movies, but I had a really weird nightmare about them, which I will post here.
A woman named Selena Garcia and her 12-year-old daughter Jill moved into the house next dooor to mine. Selena was obsessed with scissors and kept a pair in her pockets at all times, and Jill was obsessed with Twilight and did NOTHING but read it in her leisure time. Jill was homeschooled, but her mother was a horrible teacher and spent the day playing with scissors instead of teaching her daughter. Everyone near Jill's age (except for me) made fun of her because of her mother, and Jill didn't really have any friends. I didn't really talk to her much, but she got lonely and one day invited me to visit her house. It was filled with bookshelves, and each one was filled with scissors, except for the ones in her bedroom, which were filled with Twilight books—hundreds of each one in the series. Except for the beds, and a toilet, and a sink, and an oven, and a microwave, that was it. There was nothing else in the entire house! We talked some. She convinced me to read Twilight, and (in the dream), it actually became one of my favorite books! Then, while I was at home, reading New Moon, I found out that Jill had died! It was horrible! Her mother had hugged her, but scissors had been sticking out of Selena's pockets and stabbed Jill in the chest! I cried, and then Edward appeared and said, "That's what happens to people who become too obsessed." I woke up then, out of sheer horror.
Yikes, Ima! That dream creeped ME out!

@Ima: gah, creepy. Right up there with Faith Prince!evil laugh. *hides under bed*
@Emma O.: Well, there's nothing wrong with liking them so long as you don't think they're God's gift to literature or something... *stares pointedly at Twihards and Twazis* and so long as you understand that other people... um... don't like them very much. *guilty grin*
'Course, what with the massive and growing Hatedom, Twilight's well on its way to being Deader than Disco, and if recently published YA fiction is anything to go by the genre's heading for a dystopian spell. *happydance* With any luck the trend will continue, because anything's better than sparkly vampires, even self-absorbed "love interests" who go against all survival instincts set up in the prievious 9/10 of the book and DON'T shoot the sappy loverboy at then end. Yes, Katniss, I am looking at you.

@ Emma: As long as you're not going to hold it against other people for not liking them, then hey, like whatever books you want. :)
@ TNO (umlaut): Didn't you say that Faith Prince didn't fit the part? Or was that Heidi Blickenstaff...
Random: I heard someone was suing Smeyer for copying off her books...

Re: Faith Prince: Yes, I did. She grew on me. Plus, her evil laugh = teh pwnage.
(October 9, 2009 - 5:07 pm)
Nope! I don't think they're "God's gift to liturature"!! I like them. They do seem a little easy to read, I guess, or that they don't seem to have many "big words," but they are considered "teen liturature," and I bet most people here read books that are a bit more challenging than "teen liturature." *grin* *puts right hand up* I solomnly swear I will never become a Twihard, nor will I hold it against people for not liking it *coughexceptTNOandMaryWcough* *kidding* *puts hand down* Now I have sworn the Oath of Resonablness, I will go on trying to finish Breaking Dawn before my parents make me start cleaning! Good bye! *waves*

Does "pwn" stand for anything in particular? That's been bugging me forever, trying to figure it out...
