/lit/ - Literature

I am something of a completionist, in this case, for notable works of vampire fiction. However, what did you think of the Twilight books? I have not read them, or seen the movies back when they were massively popular, because I was contrarian to the idea that I should do something because it was popular. Now that I've bumped into this, should I read it? Has the Twilight series contributed anything worth pointing out to the genre of Vampire fiction? Has it innovated it in any way? What did you think of the movies, in relation to the books? I am OK with some spoilers, to be honest, as long as it backs up your points.

Is it worth reading lads?

This book was published 11 years ago. It's set in the comfy northwest, and it's a well written love story with a couple of clichés, but not as many as the regular drivel. It builds up to a good ending, too. It shows you the mind of the female in love without being tedious. This book does get a lot of hate, however. Mostly because of the internet meme "still a better love story than twilight", but i can say for sure that those people haven't read twilight.

Why doesn't this get as much hate as Harry Potter does on this board? Is it due to popularity?

What is the male equivalent of this? I want to read about young qt grills fighting over a generic young male self insert
Preferably not written to be YA and written by a man
Hard mode: written by a man over 40 that also passes for patrician lit
No depressing shit pleas I just wanted to feel good it's not fair girls have this

How old were you when you realized that this shit is just softcore porn for insecure twelve year old girls?

Okay, so we know the followers are dumb fucking teenagers, but put that aside... Purely as a book, what do you think of it?
I think it has an interesting writing style at it's best, but becomes sappy at it's worst.

Honestly, I've never read this book, but before it was released, I was blue pilled as fuck. The hype for it is what made me start despising society. From there, teenage anger towards a fad led me to delve deeper into (((their))) actions and the societal effects.

Not memeing we read the first chapter in my High School watched the movie, this was a while back.

Also in another class, our teacher passed out chapters from Catching Fire we had to read weekly for 30 minutes before taking them back and we had to answer questions for a quiz.

Not even joking.

>Have to read a book as a group assignment.
>Get lobbed in a group with four girls because back in college I was acting quite gay and effeminate.
>Let's all read twilight! three of the girls screamed in high pitched voices.
>I object, but unlike Ace Attorney in life it makes no difference.
>The girls main argument was that they all read it anyway so less work.
>After one class the one sullen girl hot but unwashed who had remained silent during class says she hasn't read it yet.
>Tells me she is dyslexic and loves to read but really struggles and ask if I can read it to here at home.
>Why not.jpg?
>Go to her home, giant fucking castle, I read the book to her for several hours.
>Eventually stop reading and talk about feelings, she thinks I am the largest poof in history.
>Tells me she never kissed and is quite unsure about herself. Tell her I'm a master at it (more like a soaking wet mop attached to a V8 engine) and lead her into 'training' with me. It wouldn't be her first time because I'm gay.
>Gobble her face off for the next half hour. She brought into the whole: "It's okay because I'm gay."
>Next day whilst reading the book for her I reach under her skirt whilst reading some passage about Edward driving his Volvo.
>Say she needs experience with this too. She agrees.
>I fingerblast her fanny to another dimension.
>This cycle continues daily with all steps off foreplay, still okay because I'm gay.
>Last day of reading, finish the book.
>She's really happy and all. Ask me if I want to fuck her, it's okay, just for practise because I'm gay!
>Go to her parents bed room.
>Skip foreplay, awkwardly rip of clothes, she notes that my skin is as sparkly as Edwards.
>Present the inner depths of her cunt with my fat lumpy sausage.
>Pound hard.
>Suddenly blood everywhere.
>She beckons me to stop.
>I continue moving inside of her.
>Burst apart.
>She lays there crying on her parents previously immaculate white sheets.
>Teenage brain is retarded so I quickly put on my clothes and start to run home.
>She isn't at school next day.
>English class a week later, she hasn't turned up in the meantime, I have to present the book with my group but no sign of Alice.
>Teacher tells us she suddenly dropped out.
>Never heard from her since.

And that is how Stephanie Meyer got me laid.

Given that, this should do.

What books are just anime?

Let's see.
Cheap, bland, consumed by idiots, sought out by teenies, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Gee I wonder
