I was just fucking around. The original is in English.

I see. I don't know too much about Dracula mythology. I just gave it a few reads, because it supposed to be a "classic."

Yes, Nathaniel Hawthorne can be a tough read. I suppose it's about the style, for me. Some older English stuff I hate and some of it I love.

I prefer newer authors because I understand them more. F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorites along with Hermann Hesse even though I don't know German.

I haven't read Fitzgerald's stuff, but Hesse wrote some really good reads.

Fitzgerald wrote a lot about the "jazz" age in the 20's. Most people love "The Great Gatsby" but "The Beautiful and Damned" is my favorite. "Siddhartha" is my favorite book.

Currently reading HP Lovecraft's Dreams of Terror and Death. Always one of my favorite authors.

I think one of my favorite books that I've read this year would be Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Two of my all time favorite authors as well and I was elated to find they had a work together. It's so fucking bitchin'. It showcases two of my favorite things in literature: witty satire and apocalypse. Fuck yes.

twisted tales where the stories aren't so happily ever after, or at times it is.
quite amusing so far.

Managing Windows Server 2008 R2. My class started last week and I get done reading and studying for the chapter I don't want to read much else.

Right now I'm re-reading Best Evidence, David Lifton's book about the JFK assassination and the findings of the Warren Commission.
