Dracula by Bram Stoker.

I am going on holiday to Transylvania in September, walking in the Carpathian mountains.
As this is where part of the book is set I thought it would be interesting to read it before I go.

I enjoyed Frankenstein but dropped Dracula as I found it dreary and largely uninteresting.

Funny but I said to my sister who lent me the book I must read Frankenstein next.

She advised that chunks of Dracula could be skipped.

I still have 200 pages wonderful reading to do.

I still have 100 pages to read and I have to make a stop now and then just to cry for a while - I'm crying for what war does to people and cultures and friends and lovers. And that's what I do right now, just taking a break to cry.
It's a lovely book.

A total nerd-fest of a sci-fi novel. Good fun so far.
