I found one of the Twilight books at the library a few weeks ago and thought I might see what all the fuss was about. And then I read the first page. It was about vampires. Not being a big vampire fan, and having measured the girth of the book (extra large), I put it aside.

The due date passed. I carried the book along with my other overdues back to the library door. I popped the other ones through the slot… but not New Moon. It just didn’t seem right to be the only person on earth who hadn’t read it.

I started reading it that morning, and I finished the next afternoon. Now I know what the fuss is about. That stuff’s more addictive than an on-line video game.

For the record, however, I’m still not a vampire fan. I was permanently scarred by the time Min tricked me into seeing Blade by telling me it was a love story. Blood pours from the ceiling in the first scene…
