I *gag* at the thought of twinkling vampires, so I had to decline. But I was able to give them suggestions for the next read.
I'm sorry for being dense, but I don't see your point here. If people picking up Twilight aren't reading for entertainment, what're they reading for? I would've assumed that someone who doesn't enjoy reading at all would just see it on the big screen (or the little one). I think an adult who picks up Twilight to read at least fancies him/herself a reader for entertainment, even if their reading is much less frequent than any of ours on this forum.
