No. I'd just be like "This vagina belongs to a person that likes Twilight. NO. FUCKING. WAY." and immediately go floppy. It would be physically impossible for me to get in more than a couple of thrusts before I was faced with this horrid truth.

So the male lead in the book is called Edward Cullen.
My friend Peter (AKA Uncle Smoov) has informed me that there is a character in The Stand by Mr. King called Tom Cullen.
This character is mentally retarded.
COINCIDENCE?!!?!?!?!?!?!

This haggard thread is actually better written than Twilight.

It is, the plot spends most of the book in a coma

Heh. Not that I should be surprised, but yesterday I went into the local HT, and there was a whole front rack dedicated to Twilight merch. XD
I think I've gone from pure anger to vague amusement. [And, I must admit, have been vaguely compelled to read the rest of the books, if for no other reason than they don't hurt my brain in the same way that Stephen King's Dark Tower series is. x_x;;;
Seriously, the man is either a genius, or friggin' nuts. Maybe a bit of both...

I walked into Borders and Twilight was EVERYWHERE. Then I had to search pretty hard for a copy of American Gods, and the only one I could find had a huge bend in the cover and first 20 pages. What the fuck is the world coming to..?

Eh, far as I see things, the world's always preferred the simplistic over the intelligent. :/

That's a reason to read shit - because there's even worse shit?! Just a suggestion, but you could try reading something that isn't shit at all. There's certainly no shortage of good literature in the world.

Um...including you.
Need I refer you to the post you made just prior to this one?

PS--Dark Tower is decent, but it's not hard to navigate the labyrinth of symbolism.

Shoelaces: I know I know, but I can't help being curious about terribly controversial things.
Ophelia: More of an overload of too much symbolism for me. :/ I understand it, but it just seems a bit too....excessive. Everything 'means' something, and is related to everything else.
Just feeds certain paranoias I have about the way the world works.

If Stephen King is too much for you, just give up.

I have read the first in the Twilight series. It deeply depressed me. It is over-written and the plot could have been constructed by a seven-year-old.
I know I am just saying what has been said before, but it does make me wonder why such writers as Ms Meyer get any sort of acclaim at all.

On a somewhat unrelated note: why is it that the only person in the world I know that has no interest in Anne Rice/Stephanie Mayer, recognizes the names Neil Gaiman and Charles Bukowski and actually read Beowulf when the movie came out, is a raging emo, with dyslexia no less?

I fit all those things Lauren, I'm not emo ^_^ although I do not care for Bukowski at all. In fact he can go suck on an egg.

I was excluding people from the internets. Because, clearly, there are people on here with a brain.
(I knew there was an author I was forgetting in that rant, though I'm not sure how I did... yeah the guy I know likes Lovecraft too. Goffs I know: "Who now? I'm gonna go read Queen of the Damned...")

Well, sadly, being well read doesn't prevent one from being a twat ^_^ The only girl I know who loves Bukowski only heard of him and checked him out because he was mentioned in a Modest Mouse song -_-*

What? Well, haha, he only checked them out because another guy he knew liked them and because of Chiodo's "Bone Palace Ballet" (they were around the same time of each other.) Lovecraft and Gaiman were achievements of mine *polishes nails*
The Beowulf thing was a shocker though.

Yeah but chances are he just read it because a movie was coming out, which kinda bugs me sometimes when people come running to me to borrow Prince Caspian or The Golden Compass and so on.
