If you like Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyers

I just listened to an interview on Amazon with the author, Stephenie Meyer, and she said all the books have a classic book as their inspiration. Twilight: Pride and Prejudice; New Moon: Romeo and Juliet; Eclipse: Wuthering Heights; and Breaking Dawn was inspired by two classic titles: A Midsummer Night's Dream and another title she wouldn't mention for fear of ruining Eclipse for those who haven't read it yet! (If you want to hear the interview, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Dawn-Twilight-Saga-Book/dp/031606792X/ref...)
