I finished reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. It was pretty good I think. Its funny to me how different popular representations of things like Dracula and Frankenstein are from the books that they originate from. Plus its interesting that they are considered "horror" novels, and were scary for their time, but how "horror" of this time has jaded me to the point that I don't find them particularly scary any more. More interesting than scary I guess. When I first read Frankenstein back in 12th grade I was left with the feeling that "Halloween has apparently been lying to me". Dracula gives me this same feeling I think. I'm also surprised how much that 1992 movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" deviates from the story but calls it such. I'll have to rewatch it tonight to see.
