If Twilight drives the younger generation to read classic literature, I'd be a fool to complain about it.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of the "Bella & Edward's Favorite Book!" stamp, though. That seems a bit much.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16924896715026904684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424881563665622626.post-63432474399556750072009-11-08T19:22:59.620-08:002009-11-08T19:22:59.620-08:00Greg, I hate to bust your happy thoughts bubble ab...Greg, I hate to bust your happy thoughts bubble about the teens of today, but it's quite possible that your teen customer came in searching for Wuthering Heights exactly BECAUSE of Twilight, et al. Though I have not made my way through the whole series, I understand that Bella and Edward share a love for Wuthering Heights. And that love is so well-known that a certain major publisher has actually brought out a new edition of W.H. with a cover explicitly designed to capture the attention of Twilight fans everywhere. You can see the cover here: http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780061962257JMesjakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078569212706515901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424881563665622626.post-61436825811964154722009-11-07T15:22:25.499-08:002009-11-07T15:22:25.499-08:00That's mighty peculiar.

Everyone I know who has read it has had some very weird experiences during the process. One example- when I got to the part where the lights all go out, at that exact moment my house lost all power. A friend with a very unusual name, found her name in the book. Another friend kept dreaming of the book every night until she finished it.......Just saying.suzanne znoreply@blogger.com
