The thing with Twilight is that the first book wasn't that bad. I mean, okay, it was pretty bad, but on the other hand, three really awesome books afterwards would have made that a kickass series. I would have liked it if it would have been the lousy start to a good series instead of the good start to a lousy series, you know what I mean?
And, like, I don't have a problem with people who like it, just the ones who absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge the gaping problems with the thing. It's like my best friend -- she watches the movie constantly, gives the series to everyone she knows and has an Edward crush. On the other hand, she hates Bella and Jacob, thought the last book was ridiculous, and laughs at my two anti-Twilight shirts. We're a good match. :)
That said, rereading it is like rereading the crappy Titanic romance I save for special occasions -- it pisses me off so much that it got published at the stage it went out in (i.e., desperately in need of a no-holds-barred-no-feelings-spared editor), it jump-starts the HELL out of my muse. ;D
