Continuing Twilight

I am totally okay with continuing the series. I have also been reading New Moon. I told Jackie today and I'll let you know too, Dena, I reserved my copy of Breaking Dawn on Thursday. It released at midnight on Friday. B&N called me on Sunday afternoon to make sure I still wanted my copy. It sold out!

If we are gonna read the whole series, I suggest buying at least the last one since it will be hard to find at the library. To aleviate that, I have a it's-good-to-know-Sandy discount at B&N. You would get an extra 10% of the prices. Eclipse is only available in hardcover and is 19.99. Breaking Dawn is 30% off of 22.99. To use the discount at the store you just give them my home phone # 608-483-2206. To use it at barnesandnoble.com you need my member # which is 5176118995. You can also go to b&n and if they don't have it they will order it and ship it to the store for free. They are quite cool. I love them. It might be good to know Sandy next year. If it is not good to know Ann, that is.

Anyway, I think Jackie can catch up, if it's not too much of a distraction with her getting ready for school. It's not difficult reading and it goes so fast. Like Dena said, you can't really put it down. I feel like a smoker on my breaks at work because I start getting jumpy if I have a call that goes over or some other such delay.

I think we can keep the posts coming about the discussion even if we are not all at the same stage. Even though the book is suspenseful and definately wants you to turn the page, there is little to give away. I think we can discuss the major issues, style, etc without giving anything away to someone who has not read it. Maybe as a guideline we could say that if you are going to post something that references a fact or event that might not be totally obvious (ie. Edward is a vampire but Bella doesn't realize until like chapter 10, that was certainly obvious at least from the jacket info) maybe add a disclaimer. Like "This post refers to events up to page 999 of New Moon." And then if someone hasn't read that far, they can wait to read that post.

Anyway, I gotta go and make dinner. I will post soon. I'm interested in Dena's lack of background knowledge on vampires and wanna talk about that some more. Like how do/did we create our presupposed ideas about vampires/werewolves? What is some of the mythology behind it? It will be cool to compare that from different fiction sources and television and movies and our own cultural experiences (ie Halloween).
