Super interesting! Apparently Oxford University, one of the most prestigious universities on the planet, is asking their incoming students if they've read Twilight
"Why might it be useful for an English student to read the Twilight series?"

The examiner quotes
Mansfield College's Lucinda Rumsey explained that most applicants for English Literature will focus on the books they have read in school as preparation for their college interview. The college is interested in what students may think about books they have read on their own time, for fun. Interviewers for admission will ask questions that invite the students to analyze and think critically.
