I don't like everyone talking about Twilight at school. That's all they would talk about for a long time, and I won't finish the book past the 4th chapter. It is not interesting to me.
I have a question for the admin: how many posts do you get a day?
About two hundred, at a rough guess.

I have never read any part of Twilight, even the back cover, and I don't plan too. I think that I am an HP fan through and through. But, I do think that burning the books might be taking it a little too far. So is chanting "fight." What are you fighting?

Thanks, jfb! I agree with the never read any part, and the HP part. We fight the oppressive Twilight obsession gripping everyone. Join the movement, everyone!

The thing with burning the books is, how would you like that if people did it to Harry Potter books? Which they have. I'm not turning into a fangirl, I'm just making a point.

The rabid fangirls who stalk, attack, and insult us Antis. Who else?

They burned HP books! Vengance! Vengance! Vengance!

Um, this is a totally free country and everything and I want to keep the peace here, but I don't really get it. It's not okay for people to burn Harry Potter books, but it's okay for you to burn Twilight books? Please don't start a whole argument, just a point... *blushes*

I agree that Twilight is kind of an unhealthy obsession, especially for sixth and seventh graders, and yes, there are Twilight-obsessed eleven-year-olds. I'm not saying that being younger makes you inferior in any way (that would be suicide in this forum
). As someone who is, at the same time, older and less "grown-up" than many of my friends, I know that age is no measure of maturity. But daydreaming about vampires, as in "Oh-he's-so-hot"... That just seems a little wrong, no matter what age you are.

I'm so happy that this thread has become so crowded, for many reasons. The Resistance is growing (no thanks to me). This is my Blab About Books challenge. Also, I expected this post to be just/mostly boys. Am I the only boy on ChatterBox? Anyway, keep up the good work.

Hey, I'm a boy! I hate Twilight because it totally consumed some of my friends. All they'd talk about is Twilight! Twilight, Twilight, Twilight Twilight. AAAAHHHHGGGG! I wanted to make their books into a cheese souffle, along with pink bunnies (don't ask). AAAAHHHHGGGG!!!!!!!!

I'm a boy, too! I TOTALLY agree with you, Reuben.
This one girl at my school loves the whole Twilight series so much that she pasted pictures from Twilight all over her locker. It was really overdone.

Agree! Very unhealthy!
To everyone taking offense- when infatuating books like this completely grip the generation that is growing up to be the working middle class, they're not learning lessons that will help them in the real world. These books are depressing and have horrible morals. They teach young girls things they don't need to know and put ideas in their heads (such as, oh, I can't like him, even as a friend, he's not enough like Eddie Cullen) that will make them soft-headed about numerous issues. There are also some extremely... explicit... scenes that parents should probably let any kids under high school age read.
And in Reuben's defense, we're not seriously starting bonfires and torching Twilight books. That would be ridiculous, not to mention indicate that we're as loopy as the characters and that we're too juvenile and crazed to state our opinions and oppose unhealthy books and obsessions calmly amd reasonably. "National Burn Twilight Propaganda Day," though extreme, is a symbolic epitome of frustration and being fed up with Stephanie Meyer's ultra-obsessive series.
