I'm re-reading this one, too. Shocking how I find myself staying up too late reading it, even though I know how it ends. I just finished the chapter where Bella and Edward are talking in the car after Port Angeles. Too good.

Hey! That's where I'm at too!!!
I, too, am staying up late reading this. It's so weird. I just want to be a part of that story. I wish it would never end...
However, I do have a question for everyone. Did anyone listen to the audiobook? I heard an excerpt but I could not tolerate the woman's voice. She would have ruined the entire novel!

I have not listened to the audiobook...
How funny that we're at the same part of the book! I just love that scene. I'm anxious to get farther in to the scenes where he stays the night. Ahh, to be young again!
I read an interesting article about Twilight that asserted the novel's popularity comes from its ability to mimic the feeling of falling in love. I think that's a good assessment.

SIGH. I think you're right. On all counts.

That's it! I agree with you!
It brings back those memories of being 17 and soooooooooo in love/ infatuated!
Remember those days!???
No other worries but the object of your obsession! LOL!
For me, Eclipse was a hard read and my favorite book! Bella's choice! It made me think about myself.......
dang mid-life! Of curse she went with her heart! duh, she's 17!!!
I don't know if Stephenie Meyer intednded for these books to be read by adult women, and for them to be read "deeply"...... but I did read it that way. It's a bad habit I have, over thinking! LOL!
I'm having so much discussing them with my real life friends and my on line friends!
Of, course I'm always the odd man out~ like I've said before, I'm not a romatic~
We're all looking forward to our date on 11/21!!!
I haven't had this much fun in yars over a book series/saga!
I fell in love with Harry Potter, and I was alone! :(

don't worry, you're DEFINATELY not alone this time :D i've never had a book do this to me. Even when I read HP. I loved all of those books but i was never as addicted as i am to Twilight. I pretty much live and breath twilight lol I really can't wait for the movie but i'm sort of scared about not liking it. Besides my family & friends, my two biggest loves in my life are movies and books.
And I love when they make my favorite books into movies but some of them haven't been that great and really puts me off.. The trailer looks great and i know they had to change it alot so it could fit into 2 hrs but i'm hoping it doesn't seem cheesy.. there is a little tiny part of my brain that is thinking that its not going to live up to all the hype like the book has.. but I think thats just the pessimist inside of me coming out.. i tend to do that lol..

Hi! I'm new to Twittermom's and this group! I just finished Twilight last night and have already ordered the three other books from Amazon. I'm anxiously awaiting the mail. I haven't been so excited about a saga in years! At least I'll get a couple nights sleep before the new books come!

Welcome!!! This is a great group. I think the term 'crackliture' aptly applies to these books. I've read all of them now at least 3 times and I still can pick one up and sit and read for hours. I agree with Steph, no book has ever effected me this way.
So what was your favorite part of Twilight?

I still haven't seen the movie The Davinci Code for that reason!
I didn't want the movie to ruin my love for the book and the story!
It's been a while now, maybe I'm ready to see the movie now........
Steph, I know how you feel!

Welcome to Karen!! Glad you are here!
Cracklit....rofl....you nailed that one. I completely and totally agree. I have never had anything affect me the way Twi has. I think that those of us who've been married awhile "get" this book. And miss it. I could have spoken the words all of you ladies have written. I literally cried for three days after reading Twi the first time and it was a mixture of the beauty of the book and realization of where I am in my life. To quote someone earlier...Ah, to be young again. I guess with all the responsibilities we have at this point in our lives, Twi fulfills an area we are missing. And I, like everyone else, am completely absorbed.
Lia, I get where you are coming from. It's funny...I wonder what Bella's choice would have been if she were older. I definitely know there comes a point in life when you have to consider more than just passion.

I love, love, love Harry Potter. It's different from these books b/c it's a world that I love to visit -- not a vampire that I'm infatuated with. But still -- I take Harry Potter very seriously. Except for the Sorcerer's Stone, I have been disappointed w/every HP movie that has come out.... the first time I saw it. I've finally learned to love the movies as separate from the books. There's just no way to capture the magic of the written word on film. I've learned to separate my expectations and enjoy each movie on its own terms (eventually).
I'm hoping to do the same here. I like RP as Edward. He actually looks a lot like "my" Edward. As long as the spirit of the books is kept, I'll be okay with them fudging a few of the details for the sake of theater and time.
Don't you all wish -- just a little even -- that the movie is able to capture some of that feeling of reading Twilight for the first time? That's what I'm hoping for.
