    Twilight. Between the terrible writing, teenage angst, and absolute passivity of the protagonist, I can't believe people actually enjoyed reading those books. And the thought that girls today want a guy who ignores them while constantly threatening them with bodily harm truly sickens me.

      Oh God... I stayed up all night in 7th grade reading the first book while my best friend read the sequel. I'm honestly ashamed by how much I liked it then. But on the other hand, we used to have so much fun staying up at night and talking about the mythology behind the books, theorizing about the nature behind the vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters. Sometimes I still think about it. The romance was terrible but the world had potential behind it.

      Yes, but the attention span of teenage girls is so short, they've all but forgotten about Twilight. (Fortunately of course). I'd say Hunger Games or something now.

        People forgot about the Hunger Games months ago.

        I'd forgotten until I' parked next to this Honda Rav4 with "Twilight Mom", "I drive like a Cullen", "Team Edward", and other such stickers on the back. There had to be like 10 of them. Surely they could've been removed, but it seems for some, Twilight will live on forever. Like a Cullen. sparkle
