“Stephenie Meyer, Twilight and the Very Bleak Future of Culture” - Some interesting, and terrifying questions… Oh my…
Have we reached the point where children AND adults now automatically consider “the best-selling” to be “the best,” period?

“If Meyer’s books have inspired people to read, why have they not also inspired them to write coherently?”Well. I don’t know.
Probably not.
The bar is indeed dropping due to the gravity of the ‘semi-literate’ grasp on the culture. But for some there will always be the greater gift of true knowledge and the power of the self.
If you are inclined to see the relationship between ‘pop-lit’ and ‘pop-photography’ then you may wonder if knowing how to ‘beat the sun’ with your flash is really going to be enough to carry you.
Just, you know, sayin’…
