I'm 250 pages in and, honestly, it's not so great. Nonetheless, I find myself unable to toss it back onto the bookshelf next to the copy of What is the What I gave up on after 200 pages. %#%@#! Northwestern vampires. I suckered myself into picking up a copy of Twilight from Powells after reading about the movie version, part of which was filmed around Portland and Cannon Beach.

The best part is, when seminar rolled around, I felt like a know it all. But a stupid know it all because in describing said developmental biology and human evolution I couldn't form a fully cogent sentence (thank you melted lobe and cortex). Oh well. Can't wait for the next one. I know. The best part is, when seminar rolled around, I felt like a know it all.

After I randomly bought the first one at Target, I had to head to the bookstore first thing the next morning to buy ALL the others so I wouldn't be caught empty handed upon finishing one. It is like verbal crack. T - Yeah, there are chess pieces on the cover, which have little if anything to do with the story. (I...don't know.) I did read <i>His Dark Materials</i>, and I really liked it. The plotline there is about 400x as complex as in the Twilight books. Some of those could have been a bit longer, even, as several threads felt sort of incomplete to me at the end. R - OMG, I am not jealous at all. Ouch! At least it's over (until the next time, I assume!) C - You are far more restrained than I am!

Yes, that's right. Twenty pages. All day. Oof.
