darkslayer: i tried the manga. but it really ruined my imagination.
When you read those books starting off, you imagine what the characters look like. I thought the manga looked like it was drawn for children. It was a bit cutesy i thought.

Azure: Your right. Those books did get a bit ........?deflated? in the end.

It didn't live up to the hype....not at all. Sorry darkslayer


i didn't say i loved the book. it dosn't come even close to the hype surronding it. but it is still worth reading at least once.

the hype says the book is whould rank 50 in a rating system that only goes up to 10. i whould give it a 7 out of 10.

Deflated like a fat man after an after-dinner fart fest.

On topic, I'm reading the Dragonback series. If you like Sci-Fi Fantasy, you'll like these. Look them up if you have the chance.
 
Finished reading Dark Fire which was an enjoyable read as I thought it would be. Looking forwards to reading Sovereign.

I'm currently reading The Time Travellers Guild To Medieval England by Ian Mortimer. A history lesson with a difference.
 
I'm reading The Awakening at the moment.

Personally I have to disagree with the first statement. I wish I'd never read Twilight, it was that disappointing, aside from the fact that it read like a watered down rip-off of Vampire Diaries (I'm sure anybody big into the literary world would have heard about those disputes - and BOY, were those ugly disputes)but I won't go into that because...well, I was like one of the ****ed off generals at the front of the Twilight/VD copycat war. It still gets me worked up. As you can see.

Going on the rating scale...well, let's see.
10 - deduct a point for bland prose
9 - deduct a point for revealing sources
8 - deduct a point for too many idling scenes
7 - deduct a point for low moral standards
6 - deduct a point for shallow characters
5 - deduct a point for predictability
4 - deduct a point for unoriginal plot idea
3 - deduct a point for questionable vampires (she never did say exactly WHY they sparkle)
2 - deduct a point for bad first impressions concerning her characters
1 - deduct a point for lack of creativity

So... I could go on, but we're only working on a scale of 10. The only good thing that came out of Twilight is that werewolves (literally the underdog) are made to look better than is portrayed in just about every werewolf story out there. Meyer put more depth into Jacob and his attraction to Bella than she did into anything else. He's the only character that stepped out of the books and greeted me with a wolfish smile. Maybe it's just me, but if the characters aren't three dimensional, then they're not real and all I'm doing is reading words and wasting my time... I could just as well be picking my nose while watching infomercials on TV. Not a pretty visual, but that's how I feel about reading Bella and Edward. There's potential for Carlisle and Emmett, too, but the rest...Mary-Sues, stereotypes. Flat and lifeless. BORING!

Anyway...back on topic, I'm reading The Divine Comedy (and watching it too) and The Langoliers by Stephen King.
 
Reading Twilight. It's filled with sticky notes on how to make it better. I think it would have been better if it were Jacob/Eddy. Not because I'm a slash fan, but because a vamp/wolf romance would have been more interesting.

Razor Wire Pubic Hair - Imagine a world without men where the only way a woman can reproduce is with the help of a giant computerized incubator and a genetically engineered sex toy. Now imagine that this sex toy is intelligent. It has emotions and a soul. It hopes and dreams and it falls in love. This is the premise of Carlton Mellick III's RAZOR WIRE PUBIC HAIR.

One of the main characters "The Sister" is a nymphomaniac who is covered from head to toe in vaginas. Celsia is an Amazon warrior with pubic hair made of razor wire. The main character is a genetically engineered hermaphrodite sex toy named Celsia 2 who longs to be loved by his/her owner. Oh, but wait, there's more ... there's sex starved zombies, hordes of marauding rapists, twat frogs, a hoota beasts that is basically just a big hairy vagina with legs, and still another giant talking and apparently quite wise vagina built into the wall of the mansion in which many of these creatures reside.
What's most bizarre is that none of this seems to be there for pure shock value. In fact, this perverse menagerie of beings are presented in such a matter of fact manner that it is as if the last thing the author wants is for you to be shocked by them. He wants you to just accept them so that he can just get on with his story. And what a story it is!
RAZOR WIRE PUBIC HAIR is the touching tale of a living, breathing, thinking, sex toy that is hopelessly in love with its owner who views it as little more than an object. This book could be a metaphor for so many sexual relationships where one partner is dominant and the other is submissive, struggling to be seen as more than merely an object of lust but as a potential true love.
The most disturbing thing about this book is how much heart it contains. "Your purpose in life is to **** as much as your body will allow before your death. You are a dildo." Celsia 2 is told and you can almost hear his/her heart break. Take away all the surreal sexual accoutrements and this could almost be a tragic romance novel about lost and unrequited love.

For some reason it's hard going, maybe I'm just not in the mood.
