I don't really like nor do I support the books, but somehow I found myself at Barnes and Noble tonight for the book release party of Breaking Dawn (the 4th Twilight book).
Even though I think the books are ridiculous, a part of me loved being there with so many people excited about reading. The store was full of people in full costume, bubbling with anticipation. Regardless of what the book is, I am glad that so many people can be so excited and energetic about the series.
A group of girls I know got the book at midnight, then got in their car and headed up to Forks (the town where the book takes place). They are going to camp out there all weekend in a tent, and listen to the book on tape together while they read along in their own copies.
It seems slightly crazy to me, but maybe a small piece of my soul is just a little jealous of them. I guess I wish I could have been that excited.

I am not a lover of the books either but I can see how it would be so fun to be in the spirit of it. Its the reason why I love to go to the Harry Potter movies on the first showing. There is just an energy that is thick with excitement. I'll have to tag along with you for the one in November!
