Twilight. A book for guys?!?!

Just about every female relation that I have has read or is reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Consequently I am frequently surrounded by talk as to whether Edward or Jacob is cuter, (It's Edward according to my wife) if they could stand to be around Alice, and if the movie will be as good as the book. I am "Jasper," by the way, according to a "What Twilight character are you" quiz.

When my wife first read Twilight she practically begged me to read it. So I decided to and....... I enjoyed it! Needless to say the lovey-dovey stuff got on my nerves once and a while, (Bella is constantly thinking how GORGEOUS Edward is. Gag!) but the vampire parts of it were very good. There is plenty of action and vampire against vampire fighting to satisfy the testosterone inducing part of a guy's brain and it all flows together in to an excellent story if you can ride out the mushy parts. I have read all the books and am especially anticipating the movie that comes out on Nov. 21st. I have also read "The Host". It is Meyer's book that has an invaded by aliens story-line which I enjoyed even more (Gasp!!) than the Twilight series. All in all, any guy can read Twilight and still be macho enough to open his own jar of pickles. For those that are already feeling weird just reading this here is an injection of manliness.
