I read Interview with a Vampire, or a least some of it. I can’t remember if I finished it but I do remember finding it silly.

Bram Stoker writes about a vampire, a bloke risen from the grave who creeps around attacking beautiful women, draining their blood and turning them into his concubines.

Anne Rice comes along and turns him into a hipster with chronic anxiety and an identity crisis.

I have read both.
I can see why the original Dracula was a shocker in its day. But it could to with being reduced by at least a third.
Interview failed to deliver.

To put in a search in a link is not really a good idea.

Just tell us what to lookm for and why (in this case: search for "Hotel Transylvainia full movie" because of the Vampire reference). Lazy people can still copy and paste the search words...

Edward O. Wilson died Sunday in Burlington, Massachusetts. He was 92.

Widely known as the “father of biodiversity,” Wilson was the world’s leading myrmecologist, or ant expert, and spent much of his life advocating for protecting the planet and the species that call it home. For his dogged efforts, he earned himself a place in history among the most celebrated conservation heroes, including Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Aldo Leopold and Jane Goodall.
