Twilight

So... there is a series of books that has become this huge phenominally popular series... Twilight.

I hadn't ever read any of them... not for any specific reason, but just because I hadn't made a special effort to read them. A few months ago I realized just how many of my friends had read them and were really really into them. So I thought that I would pick them up sometime and read them sometime in the future... It really wasn't a genre that I thought I liked...

Then in talking to Rich one night I mentioned that I was surprised at how many people were so completely into the book. So he looked it up on Amazon and bought me all four books.

They got here last week, but I had a bunch of library books I hadn't finished... so I finished those books first, and then yesterday I picked up Twilight... I was just going to read it for a few minutes while the kids were playing. I read for about an hour before we had some friends come over to have dinner with us. After they left I read for another hour or hour and a half while the kids were playing. Then I stopped and we put the kids to bed, and then I sat down and read some more. Well... I finished the first book!

It's a fast read. It really was a neat book and now I'm looking forward to reading the other books. I think I'm going to try to take a little bit longer though and not read them in one day... spread it out to last longer. :)
