The problem I have with the book is that it takes for granted that all females have the same fantasy and the same "ideal" man. Furthermore, its heroine is defined by her "hero." She depends entirely on him to fulfill her and without him lacks character, strength, depth, or free will. This kind of dependence on someone is unhealthy. To let yourself be defined by someone is unhealthy.

The book tells girls that their lives have no meaning unless they find a perfect man and this is not only absolute rubbish, but very dangerous. Meyer preys on the insecurities of young girls in order to profit.

All this aside, I found the books poorly written and populated by unsympathetic and, frankly, boring characters.

What a shame. I quite enjoyed this blog myself. I'll keep an eye out on the main blog to get my geeky fix, then.

My state is a beautiful state.

I'm pretty sure this was actual candid dialogue from interviews. That's what makes it so funny. Otherwise it wouldn't be nearly as good.

Though if I'm wrong then I guess I'll just look foolish.

Pudifoot, I thought of the Doctor Who episode Blink too. :)

(Blink is scarier though.)

Fantastic. My inner geek is practically exploding in glee.

So to travel faster than light we need to make light go backwards. Right.
