Thought I'd see what all the fuss was about and got the Kindle version of the first book in the Twilight series. Young Adult/Teen Romance are not my normal cup of tea (I enjoyed Buffy a lot so...), but after reading the first 1/4 of the book, I am enjoying it. I think it is how well Stephenie Meyer describes Forks, Wa and the wonderful Wa weather. The way she write dialog helps the pages turn too.

Ann always finishes every book she starts, with the exception of two (whose titles escape me). She said that while she is not quitting Twilight, she is relegating it to the "when I have absolutely nothing else to read" stack.

She said it was like Buffy without the Vampire Slayer bit. Angsty teen angst with mopey vampire who is trying not to be the typical vampire in love with the heroine of the story, and badboy vampire who is everything but actually named Spike.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Definitely has a Buffy/Angel feel to it so far. Sadly I had book 4 spoiled for me this morning. Two women on the bus were talking about it. It was weird, there were 5 people (including me) reading a Twilight book on the bus this morning. I was the only cool kid with a Kindle though. [/spoiler]

Reading Twilight got me on a vampire kick. I am reading Dead Until Dark right now.

Not much of a spoiler, but...

[spoiler]I wonder if Stephanie Meyer "borrowed' the mind reading idea from Charlaine Harris? In Dead Until Dark, Sookie can read minds except for Bill's (the vamp). in Twilight, Edward (the vamp) can read minds except for Bella's. I've only read chapter 1 so far, so I don't know if there are any other similarities. [/spoiler]

I watched and loved the HBO series, watch it if you can. I'm going to start the book soon, but the series was excellent.

Sucks about the spoiler on the bus, but kewl that you had your Kindle w/ya!!  If I didn't get motion sickness from reading in a car that would be a good idea for me.  Especially on the trips to the lake, etc.

Just finished Derrick Robinson's "Piece of Cake" about the RAF during the first year of WWII ( ends with the Blitz on London ) .
Utterly brilliant .
One of the best books I have ever read .
( in fact this was my second go 'round as I'd first read it twenty years ago )

Highly recommended .

I am now reading another DR novel called "Eldorado Network" which is a spy story set in WWII Spain .

Also reading "A Feast for Crows" which is the latest in the Song of Fire and Ice series and am slumming between both with the "Sword of Skelos" , a Conan novel .
