Of course! I have reserved the last to books in our local library because there are just too many people reading the Twilight Saga! I'm plain addicted, but I still think its strange that i seem to like Jacob Black better than Edward Cullen...hmm...

I read all four books in four days. Normally, I never read stuff like this, but my little sister got me into them. There are just some books that you simply must finish!

I'm 28 so that puts me "up there" I guess.

I have to say I was terribly disappointed with the series, especially since reading on the back that Meyer has a degree in English Lit. All of the characters lacked depth (except maybe Jacob, who was by far my favourite character for this reason) and it makes the whole story rather flimsy. Putting aside their supernatural aspects, Edward and Bella just aren't believable as "real" people.

As an editor in the Literature category I'm glad to have read the stories so that I can be a better help to quiz authors writing about Meyer's stories, but I doubt I'll ever read them again myself. As far as teen books go, "Twilight" and its sequels are average at best.

A friend from work introduced me to the Twilight books and films, I didn't think they would be my kind of thing but being the polite person I am, when she offered to lend me them I couldn't say no.
What a surprise when I started the first book within a couple of chapters I found I couldn't put it down. I ended up reading all three books within two and a half weeks lol.
Not got around to reading the fourth one yet but thats the next one on my literary list.

I am definitely of the "older" set here in terms of age and I found that I enjoyed the series. I just finished the fourth book and was sad when I turned the last page. I wish it could go on. I gave my sister my copy of Twilight and she' a voracious reader and enjoyed them as well. I watched the movie the other night and was pleased with it and can't wait for New Moon to come out on DVD.
