Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

I'm just highly suspicious of what looks like groupthink in any forum... I don't mean fillyjonk's post, which was not really about bashing Twilight; she was just using Twilight as a particularly salient example to support her point, and she didn't need to have read it to do so effectively. And she was explicitly *not* one of the people moaning about what the hell is wrong with people, omg even *grown women,* who actually like this crap; or how it wouldn't matter except the fact that it's marketed towards impressionable teen girls (won't SOMEONE think of the children??). Hello, missing the point of the post.
Gotta love a good old-fashioned moral panic.
