Borders, in fact. I know I just made the other topic, but I just remembered.
I was walking around aimlessly in practically a maze of Twilight books. Stacks of them lined the walls of the counter and a sort of shrine was dedicated to them and the t-shirts and posters that sported Edward's inflated picture.
So I was looking around for something possibly good in their midst. The guy at the counter asked me if I needed help and I said "Yes, I was just wondering if you had a book called 'Nocturne'. I was just thinking about it because the author sued Stephenie Meyer, and I was looking at all the Twilight stuff. But I don't know the author's name."
He was finished searching on the computer, and told me the store didn't carry it, but he had certainly heard of the case.
Finally, I asked him about all the stacks of Twilight books. I asked something along the lines of 'You couldn't possibly sell all of those, right?'
"No, they'll sell," he said.
"Right," I said, "we'll just see if they do." And I mentioned something I can't remember exactly about 'they're not going to be popular for long'.

Meyer supposedly copied her series. I read in my local paper the other day that they are getting to the point where the Breaking Dawm film may be canceled.

Kristin is usually hated on for her looks. She wouldnt really be mobbed.

I'm torn about that whole sueing thing; I mean, I'd have to actually read both Breaking Dawn and The Nocturne to see if I saw any actual line-for-line plagiarism, and since I'm not going to be doing that...But hell, anyone who can successfully sue Stephenie Meyer will get my Kudos.
But anyway, I myself was at the bookstore the other day, Barnes and Noble. I saw a table with a bunch of books on it that said "SAT/ACT Study Books" or some such thing...
Well, I walk by this thing, my eyes scanning around at the books out of habit, but then I had to double take...
I found, on the pile of SAT/ACT books...Get ready for it... A book about words in Twilight that the Standard testing people chose for the list of vocab for the tests. A book with all the frilly-a**, thesaurus-raping vocab fluff that Meyer uses, in a STUDY book.
Granted I have nothing against these words themselves...BUT ******** TWILIGHT? AUGH AGGREVATION.
I facepalmed. Hard. And stomped off muttering about the whole thing with my Twi-neutral friend following me.
