Researching! It does take you places...

 [I AM CHANGING THIS TO OCTOBER. CAUSE IT'S ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT]

In November I'm going to be doing a post on transitioning from YA to adults’ novels, I’m going to be giving you a list of books you should check out; hopefully I’ll even be able to tell you why you should read them, the ones that you should try before you shouldn’t and then getting us to the hotter stuff.

I actually have a great opinion on how changing into adults novel is as important a discussion as have sex for the first time. It’s a chose that only you should make when you want to. And yes, this post will be linked into that month of posting. Cause shit like this doesn’t happen often but I will be having a month off and this seem a good idea to do.

Also I read this blog, um... (I’m pretty sure it’s the lass with the monster on her page, she’s got a different name and all that, anyway) she said that she wouldn’t do adults novels, or wouldn’t get into them because she had a bad experience with one of them so I want to make it a little easier, or maybe it’s my own crap, and the fact that the last book I read I saw that the book wouldn’t have been all that bad to be a cross over book, the way the sex was in it, the written word and all that shit, and so... well, this isn’t at all what I wanted to talk about more so the background into what this post is about and I’m getting a little into it. Sorry.

So I was doing a little research on something or other and I was looking at way to many things about Book Banning Week and so, like all people in this type of research mind fan, I went digging—isn’t as easy as it seems, or I’m just shit at it, either way it took me a little and I came across the top ten books challenged of 2010.
  
Anyway, some of the reason that the books became banned (or challenged) actually made them seem more interesting, have that noted and the fact that I actually went onto the what they were about. Interesting and all this is, I came to number ten (or one, I can’t remember how they were numbered)


  Twilight (series) by Stephenie Meyer
       Reason: Sexually explicit, religious viewpoint, violence, unsuited to age group.


So I can see all these points except the religious viewpoint.

Look, I know that it has one, but it doesn’t, not in the books, not really. yeah, she as an author she coould have that religious viewpoint and so that made her characters, or the way of the books to come together the way that they did, but if you really look at the books, and I mean in a way that gets rid of all the publicity and all the crap other people say about it and just focus on what’s actually written you will see something different. Or at least I did.

Let’s take in first that I read somewhere, or maybe watched it, where ever the crap came from I remember it. But I know she wrote the books basted on old school books that she read while going up, or maybe when she was older, who cares, it’s not the point. The point is that her first book was based on Romeo & Juliet, book two...shit, I can’t remember, really I’m sorry and I’ve tried (just now) to see where it was, or if I could find it again, but it was really just something I stumbled on.

So really if you actually think of it, or how I do. It’s about a guy who was born in the early 1900 where sex before marriage was fundamental in the culture; it was the things that happened. But even saying that I don’t see it as to why this happened. But him asking for marriage makes sense. Two there are a lot of guys out there that wont to be married, it really isn’t a female thing. When a male wants to spend his life with a female he asks, and that’s why it happens. It’s not... yeah...

So in light of that, he’s a man made of stone, who’s in love with a human that he’s mentioned more than once that he didn’t want to do too much because he was afraid of killing her. On top of that, and really people you know this, she wants him to turn her into a vampire and he doesn’t want to, solution, when he’s known from the start (she hasn’t made the whole ‘I hate marriage’/ ‘I think marriage is bullshit’ quite) that she wouldn’t want to. so in order to get some time to make her not want to become one of them, and so that he wouldn’t have to fuck her because that’s what she wanted, he asked a question he knew she would take a time in answering, or maybe it would make her think—really I don’t even know as characters if they have that deep a thought, or rationality to them—and so then he would have the time to talk her out of a life as an immortal.

Now really, where the fuck is this religious context that you are all talking about ‘cause I can’t see it. All I see is a bunch of people who don’t like the books staring at them and saying, ‘Oh it’s this simple, really guys, it’s about a white chick (we may as well get that specific) that falls in love—really?—and then has to get married before she gets sex’ see, really, the books are not that simple and the complications of the books make them have nothing religious in them but what the people that want to simplify them in a way that makes them square.

Honestly, the books annoyed me a little, and I have more crap in them that I don’t like then what I do and it’s got all these things that make you think.—or is that just me—My main on is actually the sex, and how the vampires are stone but... yeah, if I keep going on that shit well be here all day and you will get an up-close and personal with me and what I think, and unless you are already into the hole full blown birds and bees scenario, it’s not something.

I’m also told I think way too much into it. And with that note, that’s about it.

Thank-you all for your time.
