I think the problem with that last analogy is that most of the girls who read Twilight as their "first car" aren't really going to pick up a better one. They're going to keep to books of that sort, harlequinn romance and twaddle, and never actually read anything good or enriching. And I don't mean classic or difficult by enriching. I mean Bruce Coville or Patricia C Wrede or something. Easy, fun, accessible...but still so very good and good for you.

It's more like food. The girls reading Twilight are eating fruit-by-the-foot or something more junky than that--and very little else. And sure, fruit-by-the-foot taste nice, but there's those little fruity gums that taste just as good and are a better snack, or the dried fruits that taste even better, if not as sugary, and they're even healthier, or even an actual apple or something. But they're just eating the fruit-by-the-foot.

I just feel like if some other book was being pushed the way Twilight is, whether or not it was new or shiny, that the girls could be reading something a little healthier. But at any rate, the fact that all the non-readers are gravitating to this series is just sad...that's the exposure they're going to get.
