Really? I thought Twilight was crap. Anyways, I just read Brave New World. Pretty good.

I read the first part of Len Deighton's Trillogy, Berlin Game recently. Quite entertaining and without any bullshit, but I doubt I'll ever finish the trillogy.
From what my barber told me, I now knew that nothing was real.

I highly recommend the Twilight series. I'm on book four right now, the last in the series, and it's a great read. Vampires 'n' shit.


Isn't the Twilight Series the one that is made for teenage girls?

I asked my girlfriend about Twilight, she said despite the acclaim it's gotten, it's really no big deal. New writer, her first book, story is good but predictable, and the characters are very much the same, although the main character is apparently too much of a 'Mary-Sue' for anyone intelligent to enjoy reading from her POV.

The trailer for the movie looks pretty cool though xD

Yeah, that's why I didn't like it. All the vampires were Mary Sues.

...What's the male version of Mary Sue?
