I have a fascination with Dracula and probably always will, so Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of my favorite books ever! I've read it over and over and so when I found a book called Mina, the Dracula Story Continues, I was in heaven! The author, Marie Kiraly has studied the Dracula "stories" extensively and also the Vlad family as well. Not all books about this subject matter actually follows the family line, but Mina certainly does. Mina was always my favorite character in the book anyway. I feel like I've just written a book report.
Did I get an A?

[shiseidored]

Yep an A+ for you...I have read lots of books but my theme that i have only read for the last 5yrs is the 15th c Elizabethian times...i know all there is to know on the subject

Its something i love to learn and learn about.It all started 5yrs ago when i was still in highschool..we were told to pick up any book from the library and write about that book,i went to the history section and just grabed a book,it was Elizabeth I and about her reighn...After that i was hooked,i also have a lot of pictures of those times hanging up around my house!There is just something about it that moves me

Anywayz the last book i have read was by Phillipa Gregory-The Bolyn girls...It was very good,and is about Henry eighth second wife Anne Bolyn..I thought some things were not the truth in it,and twisted to make the story more interesting,but it was still very very good! ;D

Ok now i feel like i kinda did a report..but who will give me an A???

I love reading about the Elizabethan times! Did I say that right? I've read one book one Anne, and a few on Elizabeth. I'll get the titles and authors' names and post them here.It's been a few years since I read them, but it's fascinating! I think Anne is my favorite of all Henry's wives.
I LOVE books! It also another reason I love Tori fans, they're smarter than the average bear.
I once heard that Tori Amos is the thinking fan's Madonna. I think I agree.

I love to read biographies and autobiographies..
Right now, I'm reading this book called

"Man Child in the Promised Land" :thumbup:
It's about a black man's story of growin up in Harlem.

and I read one of Courtney Love's bios back in high school...Got one of Anais Nin's books a while back. I leant it to my friend, but she's yet to read it .."its too long" she whines ...

LOVE history, and read lots and lots of books about the Holocaust...and love art books. I was reading about the renaissance and the Medici family...very interesting stuff

i'm a bookworm lol i couldn't put down The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath at all. anything by Neil Gaiman totally captivates me. and i have a huge obsession with books about music. some of the better ones i've read were biographies by Mick Fleetwood, Melissa Etheridge and Grace Slick.

I loved readin Oscar Wilde's the Picture of Dorian Gray (so sad in some parts...)

Mika Waltari's Sinuhe, the egyptian. (I love (reading about) those times, ancient egypt etc. I wanna marry a pharao! also, the book is awesome!)
