For your viewing pleasure, the trailer from "Breaking Dawn," the adaptation of the fourth and final book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. It's a tale of a typical girl-vampire-werewolf love triangle. With the Harry Potter movie series over, and Twilight headed that way, what are teenagers going to do on Nov. 19? Where is the next hot movie series going to come from? How long can that generation live on reruns?
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.

I think the next best thing will be the HUNGER GAMES series - any thoughts on that one Dave?

Heather, I bet you're right. The Hunger Games movie will be out soon, and my 13-year-old niece loves the books.

Twilight is a brain washing virus. I don't know how I managed to read the books or even watch the movies. The acting is beyond horrible. There is no way this even compares to Harry Potter.
Not sure about the Hunger Games as I gave up reading Teen Fiction with the Twilight Saga.
I am waiting for "One for the Money" to come out, but I doubt that will attract the same volume of audience.
