Scientists need to isolate and bottle the brain chemicals that are released when you read a really good story. (Endorphins? Dopamine?)

Earlier this summer I tried to get into Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series (late, I know). I managed to ignore the bumpy parts in the first book, but I got about 1/3 through the second

hanks for the warning re: twilight, saw it in Smith's the other day but I like my vampires with more bite and vampirity.

You know, I think I could have gotten over the unorthodox vampire stuff, but the emo teenage girl drama was just a bit too much. And I used to be a teenage girl and I wasn't nearly that irritating.

Urk! Very good thing I did not pick it up. Teenage angst is not really me. Unless I'm doing it, which I'm not since I will shortly be 25 (scary!). The only teenage angst I've ever had was Adrian Mole and then I gave up after the third book.

(I have no idea whether Pterry's Tiffany Aching books count as teenage angst, they're teenage something, but Tiffany is too busy to do any angsting)
