*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dracula is next on my reading list and even though I know the legend and seen excerpts from films over the years, this will be the first time I have undertaken reading it.  Part of me wanted to read this at length during the late autumn, on a cold and windy night, with a guttering candle and a white nightie - I don't want to saddle myself with another Dickens right now, though I can see all the Victorian comparisons coming up.

Count Dracula: (referring to the wolves) Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make...

Mwa hahaha :-E




EDIT:: I have just got Bleak House in the post.  More like Bleak Bloody Mansion - the tome is fricken' massive!! Close to 800 words.  Why doesn't Dickens believe in thin novels??
