Fresh Fish Served Daily

Say what you will about the Twilight series, but I have to say I’m impressed.

I mean, the author got what is essentially a self-insertion fanfiction PUBLISHED. And TONS of people are buying it.

Plus: the vampires are sparkly. SPARKLY! Like an overzealous raver with glitter or something! Bram Stoker is surely doing cartwheels in his grave.

I don’t really get embarrassed by what I like nowadays. Everything has it’s place. Yes, I can and do enjoy expensive chianti. But sometimes…I just want that Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot. In the same way, I won’t pretend that Twilight is a masterpiece of fiction, but it was entertaining and reads really fast. It’s my equivalent of taking a romance novel to the beach for a summer read. Only this romance novel has vampires. And werewolves. And the most irritating and snotty teenage girl you will ever read about.

And I would have missed the sheer brilliance and hilarity that is sparklepires if I hadn’t read it.

I am eagerly awaiting the rest of the books from the library. I am confident that they will contain even more lulz and post fodder.
