Re: I've been wanting to read Dracula for a while. ? Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 01:28:57 PM
I think it is vital to understand the time in which it was written. The book is very much reliant on the attitudes that existed then. The Wikipedia article - and links within - would probably be sufficient to help with that.

Okay. I'll look into it.
But it is worth a read, definitely. I'd be interested to see what you thought of it if you did give it a try.

Fine, I'll try reading it. But if I have one bad night of sleep...:shakefist:
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

Cancer never fights fair. Rest in peace Mrs. Cohen, you will be missed.

It's pretty tame by modern standards. *NM* Darth_Katie - 23/01/2011 05:17:03 PM 981 Views
It has been a while since I read it (should probably do something about that), but I think I agree. Camilla - 23/01/2011 01:23:10 PM 2047 Views
I have a copy here if you want to borrow. (I read it on my Kindle this time.) Rebekah - 23/01/2011 01:32:59 PM 1986 Views
Yes please Camilla - 23/01/2011 01:54:40 PM 2016 Views

Character wise, not geographically. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 05:46:49 PM 1839 Views
Always nice to see someone advocating terrorism. Michael - 25/01/2011 04:52:09 PM 2016 Views
Terrorism is a point of view. Cannoli - 03/02/2011 04:30:39 PM 1976 Views
You know, I have to agree with Cannoli, though without the all caps and the queen-fucking. Tom - 23/01/2011 10:48:36 PM 1999 Views
Of course. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 10:54:41 PM 1923 Views
I won't be as mad as Cannoli, or pedantic as Tom but it is an Irish novel Stephen - 23/01/2011 11:11:05 PM 2073 Views
Having an Irish writer does not an Irish novel make. Rebekah - 23/01/2011 11:15:02 PM 2019 Views
yes, but Camilla - 23/01/2011 11:15:55 PM 1882 Views
Ha, that's always the problem I have with epistolary novels Darth_Katie - 23/01/2011 05:15:58 PM 1853 Views
