Move over Jack Weyland

OMG! For those of you who LOVE Jack Weyland, if you have not read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse yet, than you are in for a treat!

ok so i do have to admit, i was a huge jack weyland fan when i was in jr high and highschool. I remember getting the newest books every Christmas..always titled some cute tom boyish name that i was so jealous i didnt have. My personal favorite Jack book was always Michelle and Deborah, but maybe thats just me....anyway....

So the Stephanie Meyer craze has swept the nation, and can i just say "is no one else out of the Jack Weyland phase other than me?" Seriously. For a long time i was putting off reading this trilogy because, WHO CARES TO READ A FICTION LOVE STORY ABOUT A HUMAN AND A VAMPIRE? not me. it sounded a little harry potter-esque, and for those of you who know me well, you know how i feel about Fantasy anything. Boooooo.

So out of part curiosity, part boredom I started reading Twilight. I had heard enough about how great it was, and i had no tv or computer in my apartment here in dallas (still dont) so i filled my down time reading this book. I guess it was written for a 12 yr old cause it took me no time to read. So i moved onto the second book, New Moon. Same thing. I read these because i had nothing else to do, not because i really enjoyed them. They are mindless and unrealistic, and i just cannot wrap my head around the idea of falling in love with a vampire. I am not writing this to offend anyone, saying that you have the mind of a 12 yr old...im not. I think its great that everyone is reading. I think im just a book snob. Sure, they are entertaining enough and they are keeping me from killing myself here, so i have to give them that much credit.

But seriously guys, you really think this is the best book ever? Seriously?

(i am finishing Eclipse tonight. HOORAY!)
