Twilight books being challenged?

2010-04-14T18:58:00.000-07:00

Now to me this stuff is getting a little ridiculous, The Twilight Saga is on the list of the most challenged books. This means that people have wrote in complaining about it or have asked it to be removed off of school shelves or libraries. This is what Yahoo news says about it...

By HILLEL ITALIE, AP National Writer Hillel Italie, Ap National Writer – Wed Apr 14, 6:22 am ET

NEW YORK – Stephenie Meyer, the hottest author for young people since J.K. Rowling, has a new link to the creator of "Harry Potter": a place high on the list of books most complained about by parents and educators.
Meyer's multimillion-selling "Twilight" series was ranked No. 5 on the annual report of "challenged books" released Wednesday by the American Library Association. Meyer's stories of vampires and teen romance have been criticized for sexual content; a library association official also thinks that the "Twilight" series reflects general unease about supernatural stories.
"Vampire novels have been a target for years and the `Twilight' books are so immensely popular that a lot of the concerns people have had about vampires are focused on her books," says Barbara Jones, director of the association's Office for Intellectual Freedom.
Christian groups for years have protested the themes of wizardry in Rowling's books, which don't appear on the current top 10.
Topping the 2009 chart was Lauren Myracle's "IM" series, novels told through instant messages that have been criticized for nudity, language and drug references. Last year's No. 1 book, "And Tango Makes Three," by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson, is now No. 2, cited again for its story about two male penguins adopting a baby. Third was Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," for which the many reasons include drugs, suicide, homosexuality and being antifamily.
Also cited were such perennials as J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" (sexual content, language), Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (language, racism), Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" (sexual content, language) and Robert Cormier's "The Chocolate War" (nudity, language, sexual content).
The ALA recorded 460 challenges in 2009, a drop from 513 the year before, and 81 books actually being removed. The ALA defines a challenge as a "formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness."
For every challenge tallied, about four or five end up unreported, according to the ALA.

"Twilight" fans better get their "New Moon" tickets before it's too late!

Although the next installment in the vampire-romance movie franchise doesn't hit theaters until Nov. 20, nine weeks from now, tix are already selling out in online presales.

In fact, more than a dozen "New Moon" showings have been completely booked through MovieTickets.com, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

And a Fandago spokesperson told the trade paper the second film in the undead saga, based on Stephanie Meyers' best-selling books, represents 57% of its recent ticket sales, with sellouts at 50 locations already.

In comparison, this weekend's anticipated No. 1 movie, Sony's 3-D animated kid flick "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," is the second most popular seller at just 9% of all Fandango's sales.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, MovieTickets.com also surveyed Web users about which holiday release they're looking forward to the most. While James Cameron's anticipated sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar" handily swept the competition with 67% of the vote, a strong 33% can't wait to sink their teeth into "New Moon."
