A very interesting article on Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight phenomenon.

I especially liked this paragraph:

Quote :

What makes Meyer's books so distinctive is that they're about the erotics of abstinence. Their tension comes from prolonged, superhuman acts of self-restraint. There's a scene midway through Twilight in which, for the first time, Edward leans in close and sniffs the aroma of Bella's exposed neck. "Just because I'm resisting the wine doesn't mean I can't appreciate the bouquet," he says. "You have a very floral smell, like lavender ... or freesia." He barely touches her, but there's more sex in that one paragraph than in all the snogging in Harry Potter.

It's never quite clear whether Edward wants to sleep with Bella or rip her throat out or both, but he wants something, and he wants it bad, and you feel it all the more because he never gets it. That's the power of the Twilight books: they're squeaky, geeky clean on the surface, but right below it, they are absolutely, deliciously filthy.

I think this sums up the Twilight books and Edward and Bella's relationship very well.

The Host is out!!!!!!!!! So far so good, although I've only read about six chapters so far. It's a very intiguing concept for a novel, and I think we could have a lot of debates over the ideas and morals explored in her first adult novel.
