I've always hated the standard nerd-rage over "attention whores" who post videos of themselves on youtube, but the whole idea of reading books on camera just seems vain and stupid.

>> No.2328780

I don't have sound in the computer and I can't trust in the youtube subs, but you make me lose 11 minutes of my life and I want the back.

It's ok with the girl, but you must be shame. Get a life please and give me my minutes!!

>> No.2328784

Word to the wise: this woman has a lengthy video about how Twilight is "literature" proper.

Do not bother, unless it's with sound off and tumescent todger in hand. She's got shit for brains.

>> No.2328817

all book reviewers below the age of, say, 30 are john green fans. no exception. i'm pretty sure the whole WeReadBooks collective is founded on a mutual love of John Green books, i think it's actually a nerdfighter thing. what i'm trying to say is that my suspicion/ mild irrational dislike of john green makes me ill-disposed towards most youtube book reviewers, althoug i still watch a few of them (almost always because i have enormous internet crushes on the reviewers in question)

One of the top-rated comments says, "I'm so glad you said what you said about Twilight, it is so true and so fabulous that it got an entire generation reading and it really entertained us all."

I don't take issue with anyone simply for enjoying Twilight, but I hate how - and I hate to be such an elitist cultural snob - some people have the view that reading books without pictures in and of itself is somehow a brilliant thing to do. Sure Twilight got people reading, but reading what? It sure hasn't done much for the popularity of the Bronte sisters, even though one of her books was based largely on Wuther Heights (according to Meyer), or any other writer beyond the world of pop-fiction. Even stop signs get people to read. What matters is what are people reading. Reading Twilight and Twilight-esque literature is fine. Reading nothing but that type of thing (which it seems all the people who ran that channel do) is, it seems to me, foolish. It also seems to me to be a sign that a lot of the people who go around urging kids to read - soccer moms and the like - don't really read much themselves. A personal example of mine is my parents who have always insisted they don't have time to read, but they've always urged my younger sister to. Simply reading isn't somehow a sign of being cultured, intellectually bold, or anything like that. So many of the great things about literature - beautiful expression of emotion through poetry and the honest exploration of the unknown and unsettling - are lost with such an outlook.

She's says that Twilight will introduce people to reading.

Chances are they will only read Twilight.
