I've been working on Dracula for quite a while...I blame the fact that I don't read often, and the archaic, or at least older, English.

Don't blame yourself; I love reading and it took me a while to get done with Dracula. Maybe it's because I don't like the epistolary format very much, or because I don't like vampires that much.

Right now, I'm about to pick up "The Ultimate History of Video Games" by Steven L. Kent again. Very good read.

Walt Disney:Hollywood's Dark Prince by Marc Eliot. Its the definitive biography on the man behind the mouse and is responsible for some revelations about him that were hidden from the publlic until then such as Walt being the FBI's inside man for Hollywood during the Red Scare and much more.

Working on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I'd probably be finished if i decided to actually sit and read it and not pick it up as I'm about to pass out from exhaustion.

Starting on The Lone Drow, book 2 of the Hunter's Blade Trilogy by R A Salvatore.

it'll be interesting to see how much lone brooding emo time I can handle from Drizzt, it's been okay in previous books, but. I've heard this is the big one.

I just finished Ender's Game (fantastic), and started Speaker of the Dead, which does not live up to being the Ender followup.

I also read the Howie Mandell book. It was okay.

Currently, I'm knee deep in the first Geoff Johns Flash story. its alright. I should have started reading my Usagi Yojimbo collections over my vacation, but didnt. Whoops.

If I remember correctly, he's actually pretty badass in that story. It's been a while since I read it and I've leafed through so many Drizzt novels my memory's fuzzy. But I think he delves more into his "Hunter" persona in that one. The current Drizzt book I'm reading, "The Ghost King," cranks up the moroseness quite a bit.

It's a good read, though. Enjoy.

Right now I'm rereading Siddartha by Herman Hesse; it was assigned in my English class senior year, and I've loved it ever since.
