Twilight

This is comfort reading for me. This is my 7th reading in as many years. It's the most I've read a single book, especially in such a short amount of time. Usually I can't reread a book until a decade or two has gone by.

And please spare me the vitriol. I know it's not a Pulitzer Prize winning book. I know the writing is amateurish and the plot goes against my more feminist views, but it is truly escapism when I read this book. It reminds me of falling in love for the first time. Those few weeks or months learning everything you can about that person. The butterflies and the thrill of seeing them again when you haven't seen them in oh say, a couple of hours.

Then there's the setting. The green, rainy gloom. The cold, grey beach covered in colored glass pebbles. You can say what you like about Meyer's writing, but she definitely can bring Forks to life. And this setting is my kind of place!

I just love this book. And I probably always will.
