please make it stop
twilight. omg.
i forced myself to flip open my coworker's book to read a few lines. she told me she hoped i didn't get the 10 pages about the main character waiting for her dial-up connection. omg. no, i didn't get those pages. instead, i got the page where the main character describes in detail how she is trying to floss lasagna out of her teeth. seriously. SERIOUSLY!?!? hoards of grown ass, intelligent women (don't even get me started on the men twilight readers) are reading this crap!?!?

yes i am retarded. i got way hooked on that shiet too. i am on book 4. =)
I read the entire series in 4 days. It made me dumber.
I just started reading it on vacation... I'm about 40 pages in. Its amazing how many people are so into it, I HAVE to see what it is all about. I wasn't a big Harry Potter fan so I'm skeptical I will like it but I wont know until I give it a try!
@wifeylifey - I started reading the Twilight series b/c of all of these comparisons to HP. I loved the HP series. Twilight is terrible. Stephenie Meyer is a horrible writer. I honestly don't understand where people drew their comparisons. Totally different, imo.
guilty! lol. i admit the first hundred pages or so were whatever but it got better after that
haha. makes me feel better about not reading the books.
Twilight does not compare to Harry Potter in any way, but I am still a fan of it and of Edward
^^ i agree, HP is not the same as twilight... but, i love twilight and just finish the second book.... working on the third one now.
@kbabe44 - @hautvisage - @wifeylifey - @JayMonKeee - @SarahakaHungry - @sillygirl1021 - @DC_Bride - a million WOWs. maybe yall want to borrow some of my old copies of sweet valley high?
Hahaha! I heard True Blood on HBO is 3000000x better!
what are your thoughts on sweet valley high? i liked elizabeth better. i thought jessica was a hobag.
@sandelion23 - Dude, you should read the rest of the book before you knock it. You opened it to a page that didn't put the rest of the story into context. Like I said, it's not nearly as good as Harry Potter, but it's not completely horrible either. Try it from the beginning and then see if you still hate it
@DC_Bride - it's not the storyline that i can't get into. it's the style of writing. i'm not completely against fluff books (i read all the shopaholic series!) but it's too distracting for me to read bad writing.
@PetiteMandoo - i can't believe you actually remember their names! i'm on team hobag haha.
Um... Chris read the whole series in 2 weeks? But he's a girl so it's ok. I won't touch that stuff with a 10-foot pole!!!
p.s. MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I completely agree with you. I read the first book just to see what the fuss was about and I couldn't understand it. Characters were one-dimensional, the plot was predictable, and the writing was generally sub-par. My sister said it's because I'm a "vampire novel snob."
P.S. - Team Elizabeth for me!
Don't judge the world based on yourself. Different stories appeal to different people.
@XXVl - thanks for that jewel. please heed your own advice.
@sandelion23 - ? You're confused
flossing lasagna out of her teeth??? What???? I thought only teeny bopper girls read it...
you have resisted the affliction. the force is strong with you.
