    [QUOTE=qimissung;699401]What! Don't you want to fall in love with a vampire? QUOTE]


    Far from falling in love with them, I find Vampires to be a pain in the neck.

    The thought of guitar players, beat poets and mafia dons being bitten by vampires does have a certain appeal but I think dinosaurs would would do an even better job.

    Ouch! Not that you're bitter or anything, eh Brian? I'm joking, I promise.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Well I admit it was a bit unthinking of me, so I'll leave out the mafia dons.
    I'm not joking, I promise.

    I notice that the majority of posts on this thread appear to be from females. Reading the comments from a male perspective, Edward comes across as a kind of Mr Darcy with fangs. Personally I'm all in favour of young women lying limply on beds waiting to be bitten, but why bring vampires into it?

    The above extract is only one of many that has me laughing out loud.
    How does one catch a vampire ? Are there special vampire nets such as those for catching butterflies only much larger ?
    As for girls biting men, in my experience they usally do but the man, even if he isn't a vampire, always has to bite first.

    Glad to hear it. Unfortunately, the only female to bite me in 2009 has been my cat Milly.

    If ordinary people are that pathetic, I worry for them. I did try to fit myself into her shoes but then I realised I'd have to re-write the book.

    I was trying to avoid Twilight until the hype died down a bit, (the fans were scaring me....)
    But my friend bought it for me as a birthday present, and I didn't want to be rude...
    It's not usually the kind of book I'd read. I prefer slow, relatively uneventful books, (yes, I'm an incredibly boring person!) But I found Twilight amazingly addictive. Meh.

    However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace Acts 20:24
    It takes so little to make a child happy that it is a pity, in a world so full of sunshine and pleasant things, that there should be any wistful faces, empty hands, or lonely little hearts. Louisa May Alcott

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but me too

    It took me back to my high school days where I would have life-monopolising crushes. I was never one to go out and "bite"

    Aye....what is there to say about it! I read the first one for my Mass Communication class last semester. I found it annoying--But I can see why people would get hooked on it. It is a very easy read and gentle on the mind--but the best thing that came out of this book was the movie. Oh boy, that movie was hilarious. I have never had so much fun watching a movie like that before. I wish that I sparkled like that and made that exact noise! Classic bad movie.

    Oh, and in response to below postings as Edward being the modern Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy has WAY more class.
