Twilight

[Jeepthrills]

I have a confession to make. I am currently reading the 3rd book in the Twilight series. I am a high school teacher and I got tired of hearing how they were the greatest books ever written so I picked up a copy of the first one at WalMart for $8. It was a good, not great, book. It was a little slow at times and there were about 200 too many pages of "I love you so much." "But I'm a vampire and I'm bad for you." Book two was more of the same, but still a good read. So far book three is the best. It's no Harry Potter, Eragon or Lord Of The Rings, but still pretty good.

Anyone else reading it?

Never heard of it. I went on a big Anne Rice kick about a decade ago and got my Vampire fix I believe.

Currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and I must say it makes me fear what may be coming with the changing of the guard here in the US.

Sweet Jesus. Twilight and it's successors are some of the most useless, pathetic pieces of drivel I've ever cast my eyes over.

Please, please, do not read these books unless you are a 13 year old girl who wants to read a book which glorifies a, frankly, unhealthy relationship with... sparkling vampires. Yes, I said sparkling vamprres.

Oh my gosh, all the girls at my school ever talk about is "Twilight this, Twilight that" it gets really annoying. I just got done reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows about a week ago. I thought that was a great book, and normally I never read. Of course it would've been better if I had read the 2 books that were before it.

You do know that there are 6 books before Deathly hallows, right?

Geeeez!!! That's all I hear from my teenage Niece and Nephew.

Having read all of the Anne Rice Vampire series. I'll have to admit, I recently finished reading the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. It was actually pretty good and very interesting. You check it out if you haven't read it yet.

If you want a good read, I highly recommend the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. Once you start reading this book, I promise you, you will not be able to put it down and the only thing that you'll hate about it is that there's only 3 books.

Kind regards,

Yeah, but I've read the first 3, and saw the 4th in theaters.
