I am about to sit down and read Breaking Dawn. Or, as I feel it should be called, The Deflowering of Edward.

I CAN'T WAIT.

ETA: OMG. THE FREAK OUT AFTERWARD. THANK YOU SMEYER FOR GIVING ME THIS MUCH ENTERTAINMENT. IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU INTENDED BUT I DON'T CARE.

Is he very very Victorian? Like the Forsytes?

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

He is more Victorian than the Queen herself. I swear that at least 40% of the plot is him fighting off Bella's advances.

YOU MAY DIE OF LULZ/"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WOMAN ON"-ERY.

Oh, I hope so. I so very much hope so. I keep thinking how she can possibly top the other three books and feel much delight that she apparently does so.

Nice one

Stumbled upon your blog and I read your recaps on Roswell. So ended up reading updates and though short, they're crazy-sweet-funny. (Was a fan, fave was Season 1).

Now you're onto Twilight and I totally agree on everything you say. I both love/hate it; I can both take the appreciation and the snark - it's all good.

I feel Roswell and Twilight are sort of the same (?) The Max-Liz & Edward-Bella relationships, I mean. But that's just me. Liz can kick Bella's ass though.

And thanks for the Joseph Andrews reference. Will look into it.

Roswell was great. I haven't had as much fun watching something for ever.

And I noticed when I looked that a lot of Roswell vidders had also done Twlight vids, so I think you're right about the crossover appeal. They both also have alien babies!

After this the next entry on my f-list was a fanmix centred on Edward Cullen called "Afraid to Merge". Good times. Hee.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

"Afraid to Merge".

*dies*

Maybe that can be the undertitle (or whatever they call the commentary on the title that's actually part of the title, but is usually placed in parenthesis after the "official" part of the title).

It could also be called 'girls only want one thing!' This series' obsession with male chastity is off the charts.

I just want to point out that, while you have not convinced me to read the Twilight books, I *am* now planning to reread Joseph Andrews based on this series of posts.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

If I were ever to teach a course on the ancient novel or one that involved Joseph Andrews I would make them all read scenes from Twilight about Edward's virtue. I've never read another book that was so obsessed with male chastity.

This is the worst book I have ever read, both languages included. BABIES WITH TEETH.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Sadly, while Marie Corelli's Sorrows of Satan exists, it will always hold the worst book I have ever read title. Maybe Jewsbury's Two Sisters would come close (one of the sisters dies just from CONTEMPLATING adultery).

Oh my God, I am so looking forward to you getting through the rest of it.

HE HAS BOTH THE SKIN OF A KILLER AND MONSTROUS LUSTS. Plus a devil fetus. Meyer's issues with male sexuality and childbirth are waaaayy too entertaining to be believed.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, never mind that everything would have been fine if they just hadn't been in the missionary position.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

So true. But I do celebrate Bella's achievement in getting Edward to finally do the deed.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

My other favorite thing there was how he then ran her around the island all day, then stuffed her full of food so she'd be completely zonked out at night. I'm surprised he didn't actually drug her or something. Yes, I am eternally seventeen and on my legally wedded honeymoon--NOOOOOO, ANYTHING BUT THE SEX!

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I blame Carlisle. The man took how many centuries to make himself a 'companion'? I bet he was off being all puritan and hysterically virginal for that time. And then he just offloads it all onto Edward once he's got Esme.
