Say what you will, but i am one of those people that hates to read unless it is a car mag or something about building performance engines or repair. HOWEVER, my wife got me to read the first book of the Twilight series that she was reading and i could not put it down. On my way to Alaska i read half of the second book and will finish it this morning and move on to the third. These books are addictive. So, if you are a reader, pick them up, if not, you may wanna pick them up anyway and give them a shot.
