January 2016 reading - slow start
January 2016 reading:
1. A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, by George R.R. Martin (355 pages)
Dunk is a former urchin from Fleabottom in Kings Landing squiring for an old knight, when the knight takes ill and dies, knighting Dunk before he passes. Dunk travels to Ashford and winds up meeting a mouthy boy named Egg on the way, who insists on being his squire, and so begin the adventures of Dunk and Egg. Good read.
2. Dracula, by Bram Stoker (336 pages)
I didn't expect this to be as riveting as it was. It starts a bit slowly and is written in diary and correspondence form as was wont of the time it was written--not in vogue now, but still a classic style. The story, characters, and wonderful descriptions caught my interest quickly and didn't let go. I love that I now understand a lot of references often made in vampire tales to this book. Reading it was long overdue!
