I'm really proud of you!
Standing up for Twilight even though you don't like it.
Thanks! =D

I don't. And that's all I'll say because well, yeah like I said I don't want to start a fight.

I know right. They might as well ignore it all, they already ignore parts of it anyway...that's all I'll say!

Ok! What church do you got to?

hey! no more twilight! i hate it too, but, as m..."
Yeah, I just wanted to state that Twilight has been over obsessed by too many people. Yes, it's good and I am also saying that if I offended any people, I am sorry. I have many friends that like Twilight, and I only mean for this message to be commented by people who don't like it. But you are right. This discussion is now over. By the way thank you for commenting.


I actually liked Twilight when I first read it- it was sort of the guilty pleasure book. Not rich in plot, but I've always had a thing for vampires..
And then it exploded, and I sort of want to vomit every time I see a Twilight book, movie, poster, actor...anything.
If you haven't read The Host by Meyer, I do suggest it- it's actually pretty good. Again, not amazing, but I enjoyed it.

It's sad that the ideal is Edward the sparklevamp instead of Mr. Darcy, who could actually manage a discussion of wit. Then again, Bella's no Elizabeth Bennet.

Oh, I saw someone mention Among the Hidden, and that whole series by Haddix. I'd like to suggest the book "After" by Francine Prose. I was chilled. Also try "Unwind", a new book by Neal Shusterman. It really makes you think.

Hallie, seriously.



summer's not boring! its only boring for people that either: don't have a life, can't get a life, or arn't going to ANY camps or watever aka hermit. yeah so like call a friend and go to the beach or something! hey GO SHOPPING!!!! then u can have a lookout for boys and cloths! lol :)

If anyone reading this post has passed US History at the high school level and does not understand the references above, they might also question whether the educational systems in this country are purposely not educating Americans about true American freedoms.

This site is sort of for people who enjoy reading, and talking about books.

Personally, I think that Twilight is not only popular for that reason, but that people, of course, cannot relate to having a vampire boyfriend, but can relate to the feeling of love. I know plenty of adults and even pre-teens that squeal over Twilight. It's an excellent piece of writing, and it deserves to be popular. I agree, though, that To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the best books here.

I have to say I'm disappointed that the hobbit made it ..."
I definitely agree with you there on the Twilight series. If people don't like it, then they shouldn't mention it all.

I hope maybe one day I can publish It."
So am I.....it's about 130 pages so far, so I've barely started, but I've had lots of fun writing it.

130 pages, that's great!
And having fun writing it is the best part!
When you enjoy doing something, it doesn't matter what people think about it.
It just matters what process you went through to write it.
I wish you good luck, Kelly. =D

Thanks....you're right!! I've spent a lot of time working on my book...good luck on yours too!! :)

stick to George Elliot and the rest of us will read Richard Vollman and etc.lighten up from your self rightious high horse

Try to write at least one page of your story each day.
When you complete your goal, try a new one, and reward yourself with, lets say, a candy bar. =D

"The Twilight Series is popular on here because there is no age limit on here and the votes all come from the teen set. And everyone loves the book and movie.

Its really good!
Most people don't seem to know about it though =/
And its for all age groups :D (Sorta...Maybe not those under 11/12 :P)

When you don't write at least one page of your story each day, then pinch yourself, and make it hurt.
If that doesn't work, then i don't know what to say.
You should enjoy writing your story, like me.

Sure, we are all lazy at times, but we should try to overcome that habit of being lazy.
Anyways, i just write because i love to. =D
