So I've been reading a series about the romance between a vampire and a human girl. The Twilight series? Ever heard of it?
It's very good. I'm not 100% sure what it is about the book I love the most.
The characters are enticing. The language is delicious. And the stories are intriguing. :D
But, you know ...
I think my favorite thing about the books is probably the very same thing that I find so embarrassing about them: the drama (the tons and tons of teenage-style drama).
This drama ... it speaks to me! It speaks to my personal romantic history (or lack-thereof).
Yes, world, I am Jacob.
I am the Phantom of the Opera.
...
Anyways, very good stuff. I recommend it.
(Just do yourself a favor and push through those first 80 pages. It gets retroactively awesome, trust me.
And yeah ... the symbolism is usually pretty obvious ...
But that doesn't negate the awesome of an understood allusion.! :))

I agree. As annoying as the drama can get sometimes, it makes the book fun. And somehow, you fall in love with the characters. Somehow you actually CARE about the drama....
Posted, and mentioned you. :0)
I feel a little like Alice in Wonderland having fallen into your blog from Adam's. Your blog is interesting and compelling to read. Glad to see you on the jacob side of the fence. Yeah-me too. It was a great series. #4 was a little too much drama for me though I have to admit. Still all in all a great series. N
