I just found a new book by an author I like at the bookstore! The author is Natalie D Richards, and I've read Six Months Later. I just found another similar-style book by her yesterday, so it's the most recent on the near-infinite to-read list!!

One of the last books I added to my list was Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. My friend gifted me a beautiful hardcover edition from England recently and I'm really looking forward to diving into the story.

After I finish the book I am reading now, I am going to read Dracula. Never read it before, so I figure I would give it a try.

Oh, I think you'll enjoy it. I've read it 2 or 3 times. If you can bear to sit through an old silent movie, I recommend Nosferatu. It's a German film made in 1922. It's basically the story of Dracula, but to avoid paying Bram Stoker's heirs they changed all the locations and character names (the vampire is Count Orlok). Even so, Stoker's heirs sued and a court ordered every copy of the film destroyed. Only by illegal means did one print survive. Today it's regarded as a masterpiece. I think it's really creepy. A few years ago I watched it alone one night and got kind of creeped out. :scared-yipes:

Okay, probably more than you wanted to know about that.

Since you're reading classics, ever read Dickens?

I've just added an Inspector Murdoch Mystery entitled, A Journeyman to Grief. I have only ever seen the Murdoch mysteries on TV, so thought I would see what the books are like. I think it should be a light read.
