What is life like for those who have not read Twilight? I envy them. It's hard to remember a time before Twilight. Free time. Sanity. Not being totally consumed by a fictional work, by characters that do not exist in reality yet seem so real. There seem to be so many reasons why I shouldn't continue reading, but like Edward, I just cannot tear myself away from what I love. Helpless nerd that I am. Put the book down, I say to myself, and slowly back away. Now.
I'm on my first re-read of Eclipse right now. sigh. It's even better the second time. So much I missed the first time and I'm sure it will be even sweeter the third, fourth, (fifth?!) go-around; God help me, I need Twilight intervention. I rationalize my passion by saying things like, "I enjoy the writing", and "It's a really interesting plot." Bullshit. I like it for the same reasons that every 13-year old girl does: unrequited love. Or better put, unrequited sex.
If you happen to be one of the few who have not yet read the series (no one ever reads just one book) please listen to me now: DO NOT READ TWILIGHT! It's not too late to save yourself.
On the other hand, it's oh-so-good...

heehee, i am one of the lucky individuals who has not read it yet... :)) i am proud to say that, but i know lots of people who are addicted. one of my digi-friends tracked down a ripped version of the newest (unreleased) book, but it's only the first twelve chapters. and yes, i will link you, LOL. anyway, she is re-reading them obsessively as well and for the same reason: to live vicariously through bella. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWe are like that around here with the Harry Potter books. It is my fault. When Daughter was in high school I double dog dared her to read the first one. Then when the first movie came out she turned one of my rules back on me - can't go to the movie until you read the book. After that all was lost.
