So I went to see a movie with some friends, we were a bit late and had to get tickets to a showing later than we had hoped.
We all decide to pass the time just walking around (this was in a pretty large shopping center), so we decide to stop by a Books-a-Million.

I peruse through the isles, and then I saw something horrendous.

I walked into the 'teenager' section, Vampire books EVERYWHERE, I do mean EVERYWHERE, I would guess that about 90% of the books were all vampire related, and they had a whole section full of Twilight.

What the fuck is wrong with this generation?

nothing. there has been no really ''literate'' generation. ffs The Sorrows of young Werther was the proto-twilight and it had a idiotic fandom too (at least they had the decency of killing themselves).

It's just the fad with YA literature right now. It seems a lot of new YA books are leaning towards dystopia now though.

Wait, are you comparing The Sorrows of Young Werhter and Twilight?

You are what's wrong with this generation. Instead of not caring you ran to the internet to have a drama-queen freak out.

But did they need to fill replace an entire section with it?
I mean good god, what did they do with all the non-vampire related books?

I freaked out?

I'd rather some fat teenager read a book he/she enjoys than see one of your idiotic "omg i'm so sophisticated! i hate vampires lol!!!" posts again.
