   Still, the teenage love in the books (and more prominently in the films) may   
   have been an inspiration to the woman who wrote the Twilight books.   
   (Stephenie Meyer - even her name is illiterate.) Made her see a rich ldoe

     A vegetarian vampire? How about a vampire who is afraid of the dark? Or a   
   werewolf who is afraid of dogs?
