Throwing your book against the wall does not indicate a special level of fannish devotion. Let ze who has not hurled a book cast the first stone.

It's ridiculous to read an essay on fan sites when the author has to put [sic] after every misspelling in an excerpt i.e. after every. single. word.

eh, the essays about the fans are proving less interesting to me than the essays about the books. Also: erroneous logic. Just because 45% of the audience for a Twilight screening are aged over 25 does not mean 45% of the film's fans are aged over 25. It might mean you've got an audience full of this kid, who isn't even old enough to go to the bathroom alone.

Mind. Blown. So Edward's deepest desire is to drink Bella's blood. It's in his biological nature: that's what he is supposed to do. But by mastering his raw desire, suppressing it, and ignoring the demands of his body, forcing it to be subordinate to what he knows is the moral thing to do, he is accepted into the loving embrace of a nuclear family.
Remind you of anything?

Sex, death, desire, and the grotesque female body . . . wheeeeee!

Woah, that's one big knapsack Bella's carrying. I had no idea Twilight was so heinously racist.

What a disappointing chapter. I dont think you can defend a feminist critique of Bella Swan by saying, "look, Dracula was anti-women too!"

Chapter one was very interesting, looking at the Mormon symbolism, and implications, in Twilight.

My 3rd grade teacher told us that she threw Gone with the Wind at the wall. So hard, in fact, that she left a dent, drew her mom up from downstairs, and got punished for throwing things at the wall. Especially large-ass books like GwtW. As a third grader, this meant nothing to me, but when I read it years later, I remembered that and understood why she threw it at the wall. I managed to refrain, as I'm sure the walls of today (a couple of years ago) were not as strong as the walls of many years ago, but it was a close thing.
