For Shame

Bad Joo has noticed that it is commonplace to discuss what one is reading on one's blog. Bad Joo would like to do this too, except she has lost her mind and is presently obsessed with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, even though the Twilight series can be characterized by the following representative dialogue:

WARNING, SPOILER ALERT






Edward: I'm holier than thou even though I'm a blood-sucking fiend. One day I'll marry your ass, knock you up, and then deliver our half breed baby by vampire tooth Cesarian section. No, I am not kidding. This will really happen, as ridiculous as it seems. Also, there will be werewolves.
Bella (thinking): I am mesmerized by Edward. He is so ungodly beautiful. Wow. Also, he has bronze hair. It's so bronze. He's so beautiful. I want to dry hump his vampire action. Also, he is beautiful.
Edward: I love you with a love so pure it knows no bounds. Not even other beautiful vampires could contain my love.
Bella (thinking): I can't believe how beautiful Edward is. And that he would ever want me.

ad nauseum

Still, the Bad Joo cannot get enough. OH FOR SHAME, JOO. BAD JOO.

Yummy

After dragging it out over two weeks, GJ has finally finished. It was everything GJ had hoped for, kind of like Pearson. GJ loved all the characters, every page, and the cover. GJ licked the cover twice for MDH so that she would fully understand the love for the book. GJ read it every night in the tubby and in between commercials on MSNBC. Spectacular. Now GJ has recommended this book to BJ. Very nervously GJ informed BJ that the book is a translation...from gasp...French. The last time GJ recommended a translated book to BJ, BJ spent 2 weeks chastising it and GJ. GJ can just picture BJ picking it up from the library, getting comfortable on her hydraulic stool, and crossing everything out in red yelling "Non, c'est terrible." Still...for those of us who are not versed in the french, it's a keeper.
