Books That Suck--LOLOMGWTFWWJD

[KSig RC]

On the one hand, I'm very VERY glad this isn't a thread about people talking about books they hate, because it generally turns into a "classics I didn't understand" contest. Then the Ayn Rand or Bronte Sisters a-holes show up and I just want to punch myself in the dick.

On the other hand, the Twilight novels should be banned for awkwardly pushing of pro-Mormon weirdness and generally douchey one-sided estrogen fantasy. So understandably, I'm torn.

Teenagers in earlier generations got through First Love from Silhouette and Sweet Valley High...not to mention some of those hideously drecky things from the 1950s...so I think they will all survive Twilight. It's the 30-40something women getting psychotically excited over these books/movies that concern me. I watched the movie at a friend's house, and we were both like "THAT was it?"

I swore by Sweet Valley High. It was right up there with "Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret." I swear!

I have been trying to watch Twilight for the past month or so on HBO OnDemand. I can't get past the first 30 minutes. Then I tried to watch the sequel or whatever and got disinterested early on, as well. I'll just take everyone's word for it as it pertains to the novels and the movies.
