Book Reading.........

disneydream06I just finished reading Dracula by Bram Stoker.
It was a pretty good read, although some times a little tough like when reading Van Helsing's entries. Not sure if it was written in a way someone from Amsterdam would speak or what, but it was a little tough to understand some times.
It didn't help that many times when I was "reading" I was also EXTREMELY tired and fighting to not fall asleep. LOL.......
It was an interesting read in that it was written in the form of diary entries from the different characters. Well, not Dracula. He was actually in the book very little, physically.
I think it would be pretty cool if someone would make a movie, or tell me of one, more directly from the book.
Book List:
1. Guards Guards by Terry Pratchett
2. Kingdom Keepers III Disney in Shadows by Ridley Pearson
3. The Laughing Corpse by Laurell K. Hamilton
4. Twilight Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
5. Last Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
6. Barbara Jordan American Hero by Mary Beth Rogers
7. 4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie
8. Kingdom Keepers IV Power Play by Ridley Pearson
9. The Other Tudors: Henry III's Mistresses and Bastards by Philippa Jones
10. Appointment With Death by Agatha Christie
11. Lauren Bacall By Myself and Then Some by Lauren Bacall
12. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
13. Home A Memoir of My Early Years by Julie Andrews
14. Dracula by Bram Stoker

Thank goodness. :)
