Meh, in fairness to Meyer, her story so far (40 pages o.0) isn't that bad. Her writing is Godawful though; it's blatant that she searched for Word's synonyms when writing her stories...

Yes, because adjectives make books superbly excellent!

Only when used in moderation. It's far better to rely on verbs than adjectives.

Twilight - That's probably the most annoying 400 pages of writing I've ever read.
It started off well.
Until it became a cliché-ridden cluster of jealousy, lust, pro-male ideologies and "lolz i r teh dangerous and u r teh idiot for luffin' me", all wrapped in a shroud of terribly written descriptions, poor character building and relationship development and an entire lack of story.
Seriously, if you even decide to read this for teh lulz (which was my reasoning to be honest), don't expect to come across anything interesting until page 340-something... God knows how these books became so popular. I guess teenage girls (and male gays) prefer men to be perfectly built, vampires and have absolutely no definite personality characteristics that sets him apart from any character in any book... Sad really.

I feel like re-reading the Harry Potter series, might do it over the summer.
Currently reading "What a Carve Up!" and I'm loving it. One of the first novels they made me read that don't make me go "ugh, I'll read it tomorrow".

Not a chance, but luckily there's still some 2009 left so I'll be able to catch up XD I doubt I'll remember in December which book I loved the best though.

Started "The Odyssey" by Homer.
Love the fact it's nearly three millennia old.

Professor made us all buy a new book by a Flemish Author who will be delivering a speech or something alike on its subject after Easter Break.
WHY do all these young whipper snappers writing 'serious modern literature' feel the need to add sex? At least give it a function or a meaning in your book you know! Does it change anything to value of a book to add a side-thought about a peach resembling a c*** somewhere randomly?
So basically I read 80 pages of white noise, nothing happens, people just are :s
