Calling all Lit Majors and Twilight fans...

OK, so I was sucked into the Twilight saga...hardcore. I finished the third one over a month ago...and have spent the rest of the time desperately seeking the fourth...well..I found it two days ago in a small bookstore in a small town. I was slightly embarrassed by my relief when the worker(who was also the owner) told me that she did in fact have a copy. I tried to explain that I had been looking for weeks for this book...and that I was a little perturbed by my desperation...I'm a grown up...after all...right?

She laughed and said the author had done an amazing thing...I thought to myself, why yes, she has...she wrote books that are fantasically easy reads, as well as interesting...She went on to say that the author had taken classical literature and turned it into kids with cell phones and a thirst for blood...HUH? I musta missed that part.

I like to read. I've read a great many books in my lifetime. I've read classical literature..I've read RL Stine, I've read The Babysitter's Club, I've read Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, Stephen King, Dean Kootz.

I've read Stephaine Meyer. I didn't see any classical literature in her books. But then, I'm a science major and would have seen the connection to that sort of stuff.

So lit majors....here is what she said about the books..can you tell me if this is accurate or if she was pulling my leg and trying to make me feel better for getting sucked into a tween phenomenon.

New Moon: Romeo and Juliet

Eclipse: Wuthering Heights

Breaking Dawn: Frankenstein.

Is this crazy or not?
