Thread: [Where I read] Twilight - Chapter by Chapter THE ENTIRE SAGA!
Started 2 months ago by DoctorDogGirl
My current project is based upon my girlfriend informing me that I absolutely *HAVE* to read Twilight. She's sent me the hardback copies of every single one of the books and I am informed that I have to read them, cover to cover. Pretty much like homework. Given this is something that I have to do, I've decided to share my thoughts as I pursue this Herculean task.
I've already seen the ...
I advise you get yourself a jar. Every time you want to punch Bella, put a quarter in the jar.
After you finish the book, use the jar money to purchase alcohol.
well, if the stories are indeed true that this series is as bad as they say, i figured you might need something Dwgstar needed to get through some rough patches
failing htat, if you need to purge the suck from your mind, well, that's why we have the amnesia ray, pictured heah.

Thanks everyone for the vote of confidence.
Chapter One
+ The book opens with a Bible quote. Specifically, referring to Adam and Eve eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. I stand corrected, any book that has the audacity to open up with a Bible quote (or Shakespeare) is opening itself up to all the mockery in the world. Especially since I'm fairly sure this is of dubious relevance...

The time is coming when I, as a vampire scholar and would-be novelist, will have to sit down and read these books out of professional curiosity.
I do not look forward to this day.

I've had to stop watching TV, because as much as I dislike this series, all the New Moon trailers/previews sort of get me pumped, despite myself. It's the werewolves. They show them and they want you to think that it's going to be an army of badass Amerindians that turn into ten-foot dogs that slaughter all those perfect damned hipsters vamps I hated from the first movie... but then I remember what really happens. ALAS

It's a pretty old idea (I have a short story from 1956 in one vampire anthology, and the notion of vampirism as exotic but non-supernatural disease didn't exactly seem new then) which tends to go in and out of popularity in cycles. Frankly, it...
