>My mom is so going to kill me if she finds out I'm turning into a vampire...

>Okay, so technically she can't because I'm immortal. Well, not yet. See, due to the worst case of mistaken identity with my dark-side-loving twin sister at a Goth hangout called Club Fang, Magnus, a vampire hottie, went for my innocent neck instead of hers. Now, if I don't reverse it in time, Magnus will be my blood mate forever and I'm doomed to be a blood-gulping, pasty, daylight-hating vampire. Believe me, it seriously bites!

>After the unfortunate slaying of the vampire leader, it's up to me, my sister, and Magnus to find the one thing that can solve my problem--the Holy Grail. No joke. I seriously hope I can get out of this on time because, somehow, I scored the hottest prom date in my school, the mouth-watering Jake Wilder. And I do NOT want to be a vampire for the prom--let alone the rest of eternity.

Still, when the Blood Coven goes to Las Vegas for a vampire convention—where Magnus and Jane’s bonding ceremony will be the main event—Sunny and her sister Rayne secretly tag along. And Sunny’s not going home before she learns the truth about Jane. Because not everything stays in Vegas—especially bad blood…

The reason Twilight is popular has nothing to do with the crap plot or Mary Sue or the ridiculous bastardization of the vampires.

hint: harry potter is actually a pretty bad series judged by the merits of "high-literature".
Materials are prone to being popular for reasons other than being good. Being entertaining (by creating a new/alternate reality, like every light novel and their dog - by the way harry potter was very much a light novel until the 3rd/4th book where it was just a cash-in/thick enough to be used as a punishment tool - is often enough to gather readers) is more attractive than being insightful/thought provoking, for better or worse.

...Well, at least we know that we want to be happy more than we want to be wise. Which is good, smart people tend to be woeful for one reason or another.

Pokemon is a copy of a formula that already existed (the concept of battling with captured monsters, that is), and it gets more formulaic every time.

Yes, but a person playing one of the games for the first time should find some amount of joy in it. Modern standards do not make a game fun. Fun makes a game fun. It is not something that can be removed at a later time. While it is possible that a society as a whole can decide that this type of fun is no longer it's thing, the core values are still there. Such has happened to our society, which requires that achievements and victories be handed to them on an hourly basis, if not less.
