Hah, you just described my wife, who is a very well educated attorney and international policy expert. If it has a vampire in it, she'll read just about any book.
Before, by some strange twist of fate, she finds me talking about her online, she did not read or endorse the Twilight books. She did want to watch the movie "with the vampires fighting the werewolves" but was rather put out that the fight was so short, cramming seventeen seconds of action in a twelve-hour movie.
- gjm11 16y agoAny HN readers who like books with vampires in and also enjoy "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" might want to be aware of Luminosity (http://luminous.elcenia.com/all.shtml http://luminous.elcenia.com/all.shtml) and Radiance (http://luminous.elcenia.com/all2.shtml http://luminous.elcenia.com/all2.shtml), which bear something of the same relationship to Twilight as MoR does to Rowling's Potter (and are written by another prominent LessWrong'er). They contain both vampires and werewolves, and a certain amount of fighting. I haven't read the Twilight books myself, but my understanding is that although most of the characters are taken from Twilight canon the plot and style are distinctly different.
