Maria Nikolajeva, the world’s most notable Cambridge University literature professor held a conference in early September to discuss the impact of Twilight on the female mind.
The conference made up of scientists (other grad school professors), authors (published grad school professors), and educators (grad school professors without a doctorate), concluded that indeed reading Twilight changes the female teen mind – and the 30-65-year-old housewife mind.
It is possible that getting involved deeply with any literary activity may alter the teen mind, but the occurrence is too rare for a scientific sampling.

The Pope is coming to London for two appearances only. If you want to be a part of the action, it will cost as much as $39 per ticket (standing room only). Feels will support the costs of filling stadiums and parks with thousands of non-tithe payers. This is the first time that Pope patrons have been charged for their devotion.
