I regret to inform you all that I am one of the annoying teenagers obsessed with twilight. I hang my head in shame but I confess that I just love the way that Stephanie Meyer (the author) writes. I love the character detail she goes into, she'll never spend a whole page explaining how one character looks (actually, she never really tells us how someone looks) but instead will just tell us exactally how they feel (or how the main character, Bella, feels about them).

I also love them because they got all my friends to read so we could talk about BOOKS (which is one of my favourite subjects) rather than annoying pop songs...guys...other really annoying stuff etc.
Anyway, I've now included twilight quotes into my everyday language... along with rom+jul, harry potter, jane austen, wicked, agatha christie... the list goes on.
and i wonder why people find it hard to understand me........... :)

I'm glad you posted, red-rose! And don't hang your head in shame, people have different tastes - I have been amazed at how my tastes and interests change as I move through life. We certainly do not find you annoying in the least. :)

My 19-y.o. daughter was introduced to the Twilight series by a good friend, and she absolutely loves it too! She wants me to read it, because she thinks the books are far superior to the movie (as is usually the case) - and I have said that I will. How's that for love? ;D

Red Rose -

Trust me.... you would never be considered an annoying teenager around here based on the articulateness of your post. Like I said, the book sounded like a big pile of trash to me based on what my sister (who is 30 and was loving it) was saying, but if you can get your teenage friends out of the frenzy of boys and pop music to talk about a book, there must be something worthy in it.

I love that you love Jane Austen and Agatha Christie. That kind of sums up my teenage years. I must have read every Jane Austen book front to cover 3 times before I graduated high school. And I guess my infatuation for Agatha Christie and mysteries is a big part of the reason why I found this place.

Keep reading and stay in school :-) (OK that was really retarded)

OK SS.... stfu.... I was "cool" in high school. I just hid the fact that I was intelligent from everyone I knew in high school... In between doing tequila shots and puking my insides out for 2 days straight I was reading Jane Austen. god.....
