You know, a large amount of children's books? Working in an elementary school library helps with that.

The latest thing I read was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, actually! I wanted to see what the big deal was.

Mr. Darcy's Diary, though I forget the author's name, is one you should definitely pick up if you liked the original P&P. Same story, his point of view, plus some details beyond the end of the book. It's really awesome.

IN ADDITION TO my reread of Dracula and its delicious, delicious annotations, I checked out a fuckton of books from the library. Most to do with vampior folklore and literary commentary on Dracula.

Right now I'm working on "On Monsters: An Unnatural History Of Our Worst Fears" by Stephen T. Asma which is fascinating.

I was also at a bookstore for a sale and picked up "Virgin: The Untouched History" by Hanne Blank.

You could never tell that I'm a historian. Never.
