I too read the series without knowing they were unpopular, mainly because they were in my sister's room and I saw they were about vampires.

They were not terrible. I didn't exactly like them, but at the time I had nothing else to read. But I'd never read them again, and they're sort of ruining the vampire genre. All in all, it was mediocre at best, and the hype totally unfounded.

[Loud Whispers]

I would actually say they're bad books. They have potential, but they're bad. They deserve their reputation. If you read the books with bushy-minded optimism and are an alcoholic with a fetish for being a teenage girl with chestburster babies then you can probably glean over its flaws. But once you notice the flaws, they are so obvious; like rough shards of fibreglass that get caught in your skin as you try to rub your face through its pages.

[TD1]

Well, I'm never reading 'em again, so I'll never rub my face through the glass to know. And I usually reread books, so it says something that I wouldn't reread it.

I keep a sword under my bed, which I carry on my nightly house patrols (scheduled and unscheduled).

NAV, LW, and Sirus are all now welcome in my Hyper Power Low-lying Omega Very Elder-gods' Craziness Resistant Armory for The-end-of-the-world bunker (H.P.L.O.V.E.C.R.A.F.T. bunker). Not you though, Graknorke. Your redead ashes will be put on a pedestal with LW's signature engraved on it.

Also, fiberglass is painful, and something I have personal experience with. One time, I wore a full-body snowsuit outside in the winter, and when I got inside, I was insanely itchy all over. I then learned that my father had been wearing it while messing with insulation, leading to the entire inside being covered with fiberglass.

The discomfort didn't subside for days.

I actually tried to read one of the Twilight books. Mostly because some girl in my class was pissed off at me saying about it being an example of how not to write. I also tried to read the first Harry Potter book, but I gave up after about twenty minutes.
Long story short, I think both series are garbage. Harry Potter at least had the advantage of a writer who understood basic storytelling and English grammar.

In my humble opinion, J. K. Rowling got better at writing. I wasn't as fond of the first three books as I was of the rest of the series. Although I will admit the series is sort of overrated.

Now I'm tempted to make a sigtext thingy just to sig that... Best acronym ever[Well, top 10].

[Tawa]

I think that RinkWorks' Book-A-Minute review of Twilight is all I ever need of it.

I read (past tense) the Harry Potter books, but in hindsight the books weren't as awesome as I'd the first time. Series was overrated, definitely.

Personally, I think the second one was the best, but that's just me. The cheap-ass ending where

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

everybody is saved by wuv from the most powerful weapon to have ever existed

was probably the worst part of the series.

BBEG: Ho ho, I have a wand from a storybook!! I'm about to take over the world! I killed the Chosen One!
Too-Many-Stereotypes-to-Count Potter: Naw, bro. You killed you. I love everybody, though, so you also can't kill them.
BBEG: Curses! I am slain. *dies*

Go ahead.

[Lyeos]

I have a drawer in which I keep my pocketknife, matches, and BB pellets for my airsoft gun.
Besides that... I can wield sticks and tubes pretty well, and I can be deadly with stones.

You know, for some reason I read "sticks and tubes" as tube socks when I first read this.
Which made me very confused.
...
I sleep with my axe.

[Orange Wizard]

I have yet to acquire a real axe.
I would ask it for my birthday, but that would start a lot of problems.

"Why do you want an axe, anyway?"
"So I can sleep with it."

[IronTomato]

Although real warriors need not use weapons, I do have an airsoft rifle in my closet which I could probably use with some creativity, as well as whatever huge knives I can grt from the kitchen. Not really any weapons, though I will probably purchase a blade by the time I'm old enough to have my own place. Until then, it's improvised weapons and hitting people's heads off the ground.

I don't keep weapon because I'm a wimp and I can't fight anyways.
I basically got through primary school by being buddies with the bullies.

He gets invited for having an airsoft rifle and kitchen knives and I don't for using broken arrows?

I have a quality compound bow in my basement, if that counts for anything.
