Edward vs. Edward

OK, so a couple weeks ago Tom went on a school trip to Indianapolis for a whole week, and in the evenings after the kids went to bed I decided to indulge and get out my favorite book, Jane Eyre. I think it's probably the second time I have picked up an actual novel or anything like it since I had the boys. Anyway, I absolutely love that book, that is after I skim through the first 10 chapters, which move VERY slowly. After I finished that book(again), I decided that I should start a habit of reading a little more in the evenings instead of getting bored with whatever Tom is watching on TV (love you, honey!) so I decided to finally get with the "in" crowd and see what all the fuss is about the Twilight books.

I must admit I've never been very intrigued by vampire stories, but I did quite enjoy the book, and will probably read the rest of them soon. I did think it was a little sensual for a teenage romance, but maybe I'm old fashioned. :o) Somehow the high school biology class setting wasn't quite as romantic as an 18th century mansion, and I prefer the rough Mr. Rochester to the "pale male model look-a-like" character of Edward Cullen, but I am intrigued to see the movie coming out soon. Not as much as I am looking forward to getting the new 4-hour movie version of Jane Eyre for Christmas, however. The other 10 versions haven't done the book justice. I'm hoping this one is much better.
