Dracula

I finished reading The Annotated Dracula. I could never read the whole thing before because it was too much info, but this annotated version is pretty neat. Especially the way the he appraches the original work. Plus it's really helpful to know what the characters are referring too when they use outdated terms and phrases that only someone from the period would understand. Anyway, it's taken me since June to finish this monster, mostly because I would only read a few pages before bed. I was very surprised to see how similar Coppola's movie version (which is one of my favorite movies ever) is to Bram Stoker's original written version. I might try finding an annotated version of Pride and Predjudice or Frankenstein and see if I can make it throught those as well.
