Follow Me This Friday! Unless, you know, you don't want to.
This week, I wrote about some techie stuff and had a typical censorship rant and shared some books about girls in captivity. Here is the rundown of this week's posts:

Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?
I know some may hate me for saying this, but Bella. Hands down. I couldn't even get through New Moon. The inane whining over Edward drove me nuts, and I was just rooting for some vamp to come tear her throat out and do a favor to all humanity.
I'm sorry but she is probably the worst protagonist to become a household name in the history of writing. Vacant, and without any motivation other than being some dude-who-kinda-wants-to-eat-her's girlfriend, she is also a horrible example of how girls should act towards creepy stalker boys.
Twilight would've been way more worthwhile if Bella had been replaced with Buffy:
Q. Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?
I love reading many genres. But if dystopian/post-apocalyptic books were to fall off the face of the planet, apart from crying my eyes out, I would read more general fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. Also, I would probably pick up medieval through Edwardian era mysteries (which I am planning on doing in the near future anyways).
There is no way in Hades I would give up reading completely. I love dystopian books, but I love so many other books. . . There's also some great non-fiction (philosophy, science, sociology) out there, of which I already read, but would read more of as well.
I also tweet. Follow me on Twitter.
