One of my best friends totally fell in love with Twilight. D:
I'm currently reading a non-fictional book and, while the topic is interesting, the way it's written is sleep-inducing. It's about Italian stereotypes and history, as in, what episodes in Italian history may have caused some of the most common Italian character traits. I thought it would be interesting, as I'm really into this kind of books (I read a book about German character traits and language, and it was brilliant), but it's so tedious. I mean, the introduction alone was 30 pages long. 30 pages! And at one point the author even complains about writers who use big words and make things more complicated than they are. Well, hello? You just used 30 pages to write stuff that could've been written in 10!
