syncope | (no subject)

I just closed a tab that was a page on Henry Jenkins' website. My friends suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I attempted to wade through that ponderous prose and just gave up and asked for a summary. Yet I kept the tab open...thinking I would read it? Idk.

Seriously, do I need to read the books? I am inclined to read them so I can negotiate the show from the proper perspective, but I hesitate as I was burnt on THAT OTHER VAMPIRE CRAPFEST TEEN SERIES. How bad are they, with Twilight as the gold standard?

Are there coms and junk yet? I just dumped all the ontds off my fl so I have room for new garbage coms I can scroll over.

Definitly not. Vampire Diaries is so horrible I had to stop at the middle of the first book. The writer is terrible. Twilight is gold if compared to Vampire Diaries...(and we all know Twilight is no master piece).
Well, at least that's how I see things...I know some people who trully adore the books, but I confess I can't understand how they manage to do it.
But I do want to try to read the books again though. If only to compare with the tv programme.

I don't adore the books, definitely not, but I found Twilight the more abhorrent work.
