Who here has read the books, because judging by some people's Ответы and questions, it doesn't seem like some people have...

Amen sista! (sorry, I couldn't help it.) I have been thinking about this for a while now.

I read the Книги in August 2008, just after the release of Breaking Dawn. I was only vaguely aware that there was even going to be a movie. I had a friend who was completely obsessed. She talked about it endlessly and I usually just tuned her out. Then I met another friend who liked it, and then a few more. And then when Breaking Dawn released, I went to one of those midnight parties with my friend because it sounded fun. I had a great time, someone even got proposed to, but I didn't really understand what the big deal was. So just a few days after that, I finally decided to give the Книги a chance, and I've been hooked ever since. I read non-stop for almost five days, and once I finished them all, I went online to молоко the internet for all the info I could get, which is when I really became aware of the movie. I know that when I read the books, the movie was right around the corner, but I was lucky because I still read before the movie craze began. It's tough for me to say why I'm a fan, but it's mostly just because I Любовь these books, and I care about the characters and the story. They were the first Книги that drew me in the way they did. They made me happy when times were tough. I just Любовь these books. And yeah, the Книги >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the movies. I do Любовь the movies, even though I know they aren't exactly cinematic art, I Любовь them. But the Книги are still a million times better, and will always hold a special place in my heart.

I read the Книги way before the Фильмы came out.

me i read all 4 and saw the Фильмы of aLL THREE!!! and i cant wait 4 breaking dawn

I read the Книги before I watched the movies. The books(and my Edward-obsessed bff) got me interested in the movies. But it was еще the Книги that made me watch the movies.So yea I read the books.

i red da books!!! i startd in 06!!! Эй, wer not my fav boks, but i read them all!!!

I read the Книги and have them but that was a long tima назад when I read them, when I was in the 7th grade, I'm going to be in high school in a few weeks.

of course i read the Книги before and then watched the Фильмы and i have to say that yes the Книги are better than Фильмы like always in my opinion anyway in this case(strange! generally isn't like this for me) i also Любовь the Фильмы also because i really like the actors and actress who are Актёрское искусство this movies.Anyway my favourite character is Rosalie and one of my favourite actress(Nikki Reed) play this role in the Фильмы so... it's a perfect combination ;)

I read the Книги right after I saw Twilight. I saw Twilight the день it came out on DVD,so the день after that. I finished it in a день and a half then imediatly got the Далее books. So,I read the series pretty fast and read them each like 20 times and counting

I read them a couple months after Breaking Dawn came out. I didn't even know they were going to become movies. I'd fallen in Любовь with the books. I was already a Team Switzerland from the Книги and the Фильмы won't change that.
Does it bother anyone else how people are team Edward in the Книги then the movie makes them like Jacob more?

THANK YOU!!! I have been telling EVERYONE that... People are just so lazy. Theyd rather watch the movie, than sit down and read. Ugh. People are missing out on SO much when they skip the books.
