One successful book did it and the trend continued.

I noticed the new book covers one of the last times I was at Barnes and Noble, but I didn't make the Twilight connection until now. I want to shoot myself.

The name of that bar means "Drink!" in Japanese. I like it.

Also, I'm kind of incensed at the Twilightifying of those novels. Twilight was fine in the way that lots of things I like are fine...you know, in that way like "Robin enjoys things that only 14-year old girls or 18-year old boys like?" But Pride and Prejudice was amazing.

Twilight and its sequels were entertaining. Not AMAZING. It's so sad that they have to market to idiots who never read a book before Twilight and are only now discovering the classics.
