Shout Out to a New Fan

I just want to give a shout out to the newest fan of the Twilight Fever: My mom.

We belong to a very anti-legalistic book club; reading the book isn't a requirement. Ideally we're supposed to be meeting monthly, but with everyone's busy schedules, that's not always easy to do. We usually meet at Claudia's house on a designated Thursday evening. Socialize. Catch up on what we've been doing--while sipping a glass of wine. Eat. Socialize some more. Then discuss the book. The trend seems to be a short discussion--say, five or ten minutes--if the book wasn't so good, or a long in-depth discussion if the book was a hit.

At our upcoming meeting we'll be discussing Enter the Past Tense: My Secret Life as a CIA Assassin--that was my recommendation after reading the book. I know it was a good book and what the gist of it is, but so much time has passed since I read it that I'm not sure if I'll be able to discuss it intelligently. Oh well, I'll still have my wine.

Our current reading material is--yup, you guessed it--Twilight. Again, my recommendation. Well, I think a couple of the other ladies in the club suggested it too.

So on to dear, old young Mom. She started reading it over the weekend while spending the night in Eastern Washington She called last night to tell me I was right. (Those words are always music to my ears.) She got up to chapter eight or nine; right around where I'm currently at. She got stuck in traffic while driving home and was almost tempted to read the book while driving. (Those are signs of an addict.)

How about you? Are you in need of Twilighters Annonymous yet?
