"S" is for SUCKS
So yeah, last night I was on a serious reading spree mode, which is getting more and more rare as the years progress (since I spend more and more time drawing and playing games). I read both of my "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books (fast reads) and TRIED to pick up Twilight again...but I was quickly disheartened and read Sabriel instead to avoid vomiting on my nicely cleaned sheets.
Sorry Twilight lovers, I said it: I. Can't. Stand. That Book.
Worse thing about disliking that book is that EVERYONE I live with WORSHIPS that book. Do you have any idea how long I have ached to say this!?! A while. I seriously got to about page 200 before giving up and reading an adventure novel to return the brains that have been stolen from me. I mean, sad to say that I am a woman, and yet that sort of romance DRIVES ME UP A WALL!!!!! Ugh, what feels like ten pages in: "This man is so gorgeous and he's totally bad-ass(coughlackinginpersonalitycough). I LOOOOOOVE him." And so, what does our main character do? Clings and Obsesses. A LOT. Now, I cling and obsess over things to, but geez that woman took the cake.
I know it's a romance. Not an action. Not even an adventure book--ROMANCE. So of course I can understand that it is about the growing relationship between two people or more, but oh-em-gee(!!), at least keep my attention with occasional (its all I ask--more than just two and a half paragraphs worth, too) with something OTHER than talks of Edward Cullen and Edward Cullen and, oh let's not forget, Edward Cullen. Make. Me. GAG.
Call me heartless, but there is more to life than some fleeting romance. In fact, there are better things I can do with my time right now, like not think about that blasted book. Yes; I'll do just that. I think I wasted enough oxygen and stressing on that...thing. I think I just lost ten years of my life.
Damn...and I needed those too.
