May 18: Eclipse

Okay, they say the first step to overcoming addiction is to admit it. Here it goes...I'm a fan of the "Twilight" series. Yes, the same Twilight that features vampires, werewolves and other strange occurrences in a small town near Seattle. And, yes, the same Twilight whose films star Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart. What can I say? I'm a sucker for the supernatural. I know, I know...I'm like 25 years too late to be a fan, but I enjoyed the first two films and, this evening, I finished the third novel in the series, "Eclipse" - all 629 pages! The way I see it, this "accomplishment" offers a whole lot in the way of new experiences: (1) first book in the series I ever read, (2) the second book I've completed in 2010 (you might remember the first), (3) the fastest I've ever finished reading two books in one year (just about 2 months apart), and (4) the fact that I'm admitting to the world, or at least the small little section of the world who reads this blog, that I have this very juvenile interest at all. So, go ahead, make your jokes, giggle behind my back and think what you want of my literature/film selection. I'll have the last laugh, as later this week I'll begin reading the series finale, "Breaking Dawn".
