I stumbled across a review of a short story Stephenie Meyer wrote for some collection about proms from hell, or whatever.  Here is the portion that made me snicker quietly to myself:

first off you think, stephanie meyer, this is going to be amazing, but it wasnt. It was good, but cmon its stephanie meyer its supposed to be the best piece of art

Wow, thanks for that! It definitely made me lol.

For some reason, I keep thinking about how many favorable high school and college papers have been written about Twilight. This disturbs me so much.

Why yes, when I see Stephenie Meyer, I think, "Best piece of art I'll ever read."

I did just read the "Twilight (series)" article on Wikipedia so that now I know what they're actually about, and I think that's about as close as I'll ever get to reading the books.

Oh, man, you have been missing out for the past five years. I'm almost envious!

I'm pondering how Twilight obsessed you'd have to be to consider Stephenie Meyer an artist. I mean...really. Just how crazed would that make this person?

Nightlight, a Parody by the Harvard Lampoon, is the greatest art I have ever read.

I have tried and tried to give the Twilight "saga" a honest try, but I can never get past the first chapter, it plain sucks. :D

I keep meaning to pick that up. Thank you for reminding me!

I'll admit that the first book hooked me, despite some aspects that really nagged at me. The flashing red lights started in New Moon, but I kept reading through Eclipse just for the hilarity. I gave up before the OMGWTF portion of Breaking Dawn.
