Twilight. WILL IT NEVER END?

I can't not but be impressed that Meyer made a fortune out of four books which have as their basic plot a teenage girl trying to get her boyfriend have sex with her.* And that boyfriend holding out for her making an honest man out of him. Now, that's genius.

*It's the teen version of Joseph Andrews! I just couldn't think what plot it reminded me of.


Also: still not sleeping.

Check out American Virgin, by Steven Seagle ( not the Hollywood cretin), for a better-written example of the "reluctant male virgin" narrative.
Coming to think of it, Byron's Don Juan is a reluctant rake.
