Probably due for a re-read. Meanwhile, I am so glad I finally read Dracula -- it far exceeded my entertainment expectations. <br /><br />neer: One ofGilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-32620536389286590642012-01-29T22:49:15.450-08:002012-01-29T22:49:15.450-08:00I read it when I was in school and it was the firs...I read it when I was in school and it was the first time I came across the word 'Undead'.

The best thing of all about Dracula is that aura of mystery and dark glamour that permeate the entire book. It's also full of great danger and gothic romance - all told a great tale.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374987261333318644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-34510623498934403462012-01-29T17:18:35.641-08:002012-01-29T17:18:35.641-08:00I think I first read Dracula at about 18 and have ...I think I first read Dracula at about 18 and have re-read it a few times since.
