Update

Still reading Twilight. I'm frustrated by the slow pace of the book. I keep thinking "get to the conflict already!" It's a different feeling for me because I do like the slower pace of Jane Austen and Flaubert novels. It probably stems from the "high schoolness" of the novel. I find that as I get older I have little patience for teen angst. I have now gone beyond the half way point in the book. Since it is a big laundry day for me I hope to finish the book tomorrow night unless I get distracted by Monty Python on BBCAmerica.

I debating what my next book is going to be. I'm thinking either a David Sedaris book, Carrie Fisher's new memoir, or some new release in fiction. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't think I'm going to continue with the Twilight series at this time - maybe later when the hype has died down and I'm not as biased.
