I was beginning to feel nuts! My mom tried to convince me to read the books and I said NO! Then, two of my friends (same age as me, 34) read them and I thought, oh the heck with it, and gave in! I read all four books in 15 days! I'm an addict, I tell you! Now, I'm making my poor husband read New Moon and the rest. He saw the first movie so I figured I better not push my luck asking him to read the first book, too. He likes it ok, but I can tell it's not the same for him. He's a man, after all. I'm about to read Eclipse and Breaking Dawn for the second time. I REALLY wish that Stephenie Meyer would finish Midnight Sun and get it out. I will rush out the day it comes out to get it. I've NEVER had this reaction to a book, for goodness sake! I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was beginning to feel nuts! My mom tried to convince me to read the books and I said NO!

And really haven't read a novel for years to tell you the truth. I had bought this book for my son a year ago and finally picked it up out of curiousity. It's consumed my life for a few months now and I have my friends reading it, and even my mom! I think I'm so sad because I feel I'll never know a love like Bella and Edwards' and can't let go of imagining it for myself..... I’m 49 and have never read a book twice, let alone 3 times!

I knew I couldn't be alone in my obsession with this series! I'm now in book 3 for the 3rd time. It's easier to go slower now and not neglect my family and other duties, but I'm still not ready to read anything else, nor am I ready to listen to any other music besides the soundtrack & score from the Twilight movie! A couple weeks ago I was on the computer reading Midnight Sun (3rd time) with Twilight at the same time while listening to the soundtrack on my ipod. My husband came in and suggested that I had a real problem! He's thinking of starting a support group for husbands! I don't care. If it feels good and isn't hurting anyone, I'm going with it! I imagine I'll be starting over for the 4 round on the series soon! I would LOVE the whole series written from Edwards perspective. His mind fascinates me! Thank you!

Stephenie Meyer has me wound up so tight with this story - while I am elated over the ending, it just keeps twanging on me - the imagery, the undying love, the "Forever and Forever and Forever" part makes me envious - and its fiction!! Thank you again for the story and the comments - you've helped me put this into perspective. Here's hoping the obsessive feelings stop soon!

I just finished reading Stephenie's other book The Host. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. It was a nice transition from my Twilight series obsession. Since it is the same writing style, I found that I could stick to it much easier than any other book I have tried to pick up and read since the Twilight series. It is a little slow & confusing the first few chapters, but then it really takes off. I found myself falling in love with these characters almost as much as Bella, Edward, etc... Good Luck everyone!

Something that seems so silly has truly had some deeper effect on all of us. When I read the series, none of my friends had and I had no one to talk to about it. Now I'm pumped that we will always have the movies. As much as I didn't like the first movie, I still watch it all the time and I can't wait to see what they do with the others...now that they have a bigger budget!

I don't know if you read my previous posts, but I was a mess for days and I had to force myself not to start the 4th one until my emotions leveled off. I got my husband to read the series and after having seen me all hysterical after Eclipse, he expected it to have a major tragedy or something. He still doesn't get why I was so beside myself. It's just that I spend more time in the world of thinking than feeling, so to experience all of these intense feelings was total overload. When I finally did start book 4 a week or so later, I was a little apprehensive, but I told myself that life is short- it can end tomorrow. And how tragic it would be to not have finished the series. So I did. And a few months later, I read it all over again. And I'm soooo thankful to be 30. Not only did I get to be 21 in 1999, and be the right age to enjoy Eminem, and see Obama get elected, but I got to live in the era of The Twilight series. Life is good! Katerina,
