In that case I should probably read then Harry Potter instead.RubberStamp wrote:Kor wrote: hmm.........maybe I should read Twilight in order to know what I should NOT do in my novel series ;Dor maybe you SHOULD read it and see what you maybe should do to tap into the tween market and make a lot of money. :O
Personally I don't like what's going on in the last decade with books. People love cliches, people love one dimensional characters, people love Mary Sues (hp and twilight), people love bad romances, people love deus ex machinas, people love cheesy stuff.
If you combine everything together, you end up with.......something really terrible.
Anyway, I'm gonna mail my query letter to the litarery agent who represented Twilight today. Funny thing is, in the site of the litarery agency it says
any idea what could Meyer have written for the bolded part? ;DPlease send us a query letter of no more than two pages, which includes your credentials, an explanation of what makes your book unique and special, and a synopsis. Also, please include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope for our reply, which generally takes six to eight weeks.

My fav author would probably be Keigo Higashino. His mystery novels are quite interesting.
I like his Detective Galileo series and his latest novel "Shinzanmono"

Re: Your Favourite Books/Authors
I guess I have two favourite authors. One for serious stuff (Ray Bradbury) and one for more fun, entertaining books (John Green). Conan Doyle would still rank pretty high up there 

'Songs of Myself' by Walt Whitman wrote:You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through
the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.
Poem by Emily Dickinson wrote:Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest needs.

The Da Vinci Code is the first thing that popped in my mind
Much Ado About Nothing is the second

There are only sparkly fairies in twilight...Kor wrote:What?RubberStamp wrote: I've heard good things about the Twilight movies though I'll never watch them. I really, really hate vampires.where are you getting this from? There are no vampires in Twilight (if you know what I mean)
You misunderstood. Of course the book has to be first of all popular, otherwise no studio will want to make a movie out of it. But the movie can add more popularity. Like for example, after watching the first LOTR movie, I went to read the other two books.RubberStamp wrote: I'd have to disagree with point number 2. From what I've observed, the book first becomes very popular and then gets made into a crap movie - like Eragon, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Inkheart to name a few.
Hm... My favourite book (right now) is Pet cemetary by Stephen King.
Rose madder is second.

Re: Your Favourite Books/Authors
it's a good series
a combination between myth and modern world - just like percy jackson and the lightning thief, but more.. how do I say it, mature? And it's not limited only to greek myth.
... since I am too lazy to type.. BAM! A LINK!
