Bram Stoker's "Dracula"

DateWednesday, May 4, 2011 at 3:11PM

I just stared reading this classic novel on my Kindle. One of the great things about the Kindle store is how many classics are free or less than a buck. If they're English classics, the publishing rights eventually expire and they become public domain. A few publishing cooperatives have put out free or virtually free e-book versions of these classics.

Anyway, I downloaded a bunch of classics I had never gotten around to reading, and have been chipping away at the pile for the last year, in between reading other things. So the other day I scrolled through my Kindle and thought, "Dracula? The original Bram Stoker novel? Why not?"

UPDATE: Finished Dracula the other day. Interesting and innovative structure for a novel of that period. I'll post a review in a couple of days.
