My guess is that a lot of your older readers see ourselves in you when we were younger.

However, I have a lot of internal pressure to just read more in general!<BR/>On the Twilight books, incidentally, several friends have recommended those, so I'll be picking them up on their recommendations.

I'm not touching them with a ten foot barge pole!<BR/><BR/>However, I do find that hype, or at least a lot of people talking about one book at the same time, compells me to buy.
