Confession: I am extremely selfish and inpatient when it comes to reading books. I have to read it all at once. This is such an issue that I have to restrain from reading anything until the weekend. Otherwise, I would be exhausted every day at work.

This weekend's fare? Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Seriously. I read it in one night. It's 498 pages long. The time flew by.

Wow. Now that was a good book. I loved it! Generally, I'm not one to like vampire novels, if you can call it that--it was... different. I think what I loved about it was the fact that it was like Buffy and Angel, but without all the vampire slaying. I used to watch Buffy because I'm a sucker for "we can't be together" romance storylines (as evidenced by my obsessed with Jim and Pam from The Office). And in Twilight, there is a definite obstacle for this couple.

A short teaser, so ya'll will go out and read it:

In the beginning of the novel, Bella moves from sunny Arizona to the most rained on town in the country. She starts attending her junior year of high school right away and is fascinated by the strange Cullen siblings, all students at her high school. They sit by themselves in the cafeteria, never talk to anyone, and even more strange than that, one of the brothers Edward seems to hate her from the very beginning, even tensing up and refusing to speak to her when she is assigned the seat next to him in biology class. She doesn't even know him, and yet, she finds herself inexplicably curious and drawn to him.

So begins a story that will completely draw you in and never let you go. I haven't been this wrapped up in a book since my first time reading Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. Whoa.

Seriously. Go read it.
