Past HBO Series

Twenty somethings and up who have read Twilight?
I didn't realize at first that the book was basically wrote for teenagers b/c I saw tons of twenty and thirty somethings sitting around Barnes and Nobel completely indulged in it. So, I'm mid 20s and I am having the hardest time getting into it, I've already decided that I'm not reading past the first book. So for everyone over 20:
-Did you like the book and/or series?
-What did you like about it?
-What other types of books do you like to read?
(I'm just trying to get my head around the older demographic of Twilight readers)
Feel free to share any thoughts you might have on it and thank you for taking the time to answer.
My opinion on the book is that anybody who has actually read The Vampire Chronicles or even Charlene Harris' Sookie Stackhouse Series (the one the HBO's True Blood is based on) should be completely and totally dissatisfied with the Twilight series and author. All thoughts and opinions are welcomed;)
I'm not totally understanding it either. 2 of my good friends almost sound like fangirls (and as both 20ish+, that's a frightening thing indeed). I read 3 of the books, and like you, I don't see what the draw is. It's a cute book, if you are looking for a good read. Epic movie read? Not in my opinion. I just don't get it. There are (in my opinion) much better vampire romances than Twilight that could be made into a movie. (props to Sookie, I like those too) As far as Twilight itself, I never got lost in the book. I felt like I could predict almost everything that happened, and that doesn't make a good read for me.
I heard someone else say once that single women love Twilight so much because they put themselves in Bella's place. I wonder if that's true.
