I choose to pass no Twilight judgement  I read book one, and two, and watched the movie twice…the first time in the theater and the second the day the DVD came out at a friend’s Twilight party. I was one of the few people at the party who did not dress up in Twiight related t-shirt, actually even the toddlers were twilight-ifed at the party. I chose to toss on my “Librarian” Sweatshirt (my “She blinded me with Library Science” t-shirt was in the wash I fear) so I pretend that counts. But this article made me want to both laugh and cry at the same time:

It’s more the comments that worry me, like:

(4) TWILIGHT !!!!!!! XD says:

AND.. THIS GUY WROTE WAT… I HAD NEVA HEARD OF HIM!!!

I feel for America’s children, mostly because the spell and typo worse than me, which is impressive. I don’t read Steven King, but I thought it was funny that they never even heard of him. It also makes me sad that S. Meyer is the best writer in history,  Twilight is fun, it’s soap-opera-ish, it;s teen hormones, it’s shiny vampires, but it’s not Literature, with a capital L. So many great books out there, hopefully reading Twilight will be a gate way reading drug to other books and create a generation of Readers. Should I cross my fingers on that on?
