Why Everyone Hates "Twilight"
Lipstick on a Hillary:
I don't even know who that actor even is, but I tell you what--I am sick and tired of looking at his face. It seems like everywhere I look-there he is.

She reads quite well enough on her own now. She reads in the bathtub at night - she'll sit an soak for an hour or so with a book - and she reads for about 1/2 an hour in the morning while I'm trying to get her dressed, give her breakfast and then brush her teeth.

Not wasting my time on this at all because I got the impression from the start from what little I read about "Twilight" was that the intended audience always was young teenage girls.
I read a great deal and I just started the fourth novel "A Feast for Crows" in J.R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. Book five is inbound from Amazon now. We saw one episode of HBO's season 1 during a free HBO preview non DirecTV, and it wasn't bad but it was far from clear what was going on. Now that I've plowed through the first three books, it is clear that HBO cannot possibly do as good of a job with this story as Martin did.
Anyone else read these novels?? Some say he's the modern Tolkien, but Tolkien never wrote like this...

No, but you've piqued my interest.

Chieftain, I'm heading over the Amazon to check out Martin. Thanks.
