Dracula!

I finished Main Street. It moved pretty slowly for the first 3/4 of the book, but the end engaged me. Still, The Grapes of Wrath proved a difficult act to follow.

I've now moved on to Dracula. I started reading it last night while I was home alone for a while, and it was dark outside, and the house creaked (it turned out to be the cat in the rocking chair). I think I'll limit myself to reading this one only during daylight hours!

Love that one. I grew up watching classic horror movies, so I enjoyed getting to the source material for one of the all time great movie characters. Is Frankenstein also on your list? Interesting how different both books are from most movies about them.

A little spooky, eh? Nate has the same problem with Hangman's Curse by Frank Peretti. He had to come hang out with me the other night after he got creeped out by something in it...daytime book now!

Yes, Frankenstein is also on the list. I don't think I'll read them back-to-back. :)
