Around the World discussion

Bram Stoker is the Irish author that I want to read for the challenge and I was wondering if anybody would be interested in creating a group discussion on Dracula during October (the perfect month, right?).

Well, well, I would love to read the book but can't say about October 2012. Who knows where I would be, doing what!

Brittany, I may be interested in this. It's not one of my "52" selections, but I've never read it. I liked seeing Nosferatu and the ?John Malkovich version. I'll put a reminder in my calendar.

I've actually never seen any Dracula movie. I know it's strange, right? But I've wanted to read it ever since a friend recommended it a few years ago.

True, true. I would say this is tentative and there's no obligation. I know that I want to read it for the challenge, but if another date works better, I'm very willing to change the month.

Sounds great!

I am in :)

This is a great book, you'll love it!

My sisters and I will be reading Dracula for the challenge but will be reading it in April.

I would like to read this with you -I've been wanting to read this for along time

I'm in too! What month is it finally going to be then?

And oooh! Will this go under 'Transylvania'? :D

Some have it under Romania.

Let me know when you have a week (or month) selected for sure so I can add it to the calendar!

Alright. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to reading for the challenge. So whoever wants to read Dracula with this group just vote for the month that you think would work the best. I'll tally up the months. Whichever month gets the most votes will win! However, let's leave January out since it is short notice, but February through December 2012 is free game.
For your vote, just write a reply to this post with your month.

March or April

Er - going to be a little busy in March and April. Don't think I'd want rather disturbing books as bedtime reads. :P How about any time after May?

I've got Dracula too - I can work it out to read pretty much any month. Sorry, that wasn't helpful :)

not feb please!

Alright...How about June?

Is anybody still interested? Does June sound like it would work?

I am fine with June. It's a good enough month for bizarre and spooky tales. :P

I think I can. I'll be reading A Fine Balance too so not totally sure. As long as it's a month-long read, I can probably join in.

I'll make it a month long read. We can have discussions throughout the month of June or we can start our discussions at the end of June.

That sounds good Brittany.

I may be able to do June. I am reading Dracula with another group and it is rapidly coming up but I am a bit behind in the group so I am looking at April-May-June. It depends on if I have to read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1first or not I think.

Has anyone remembered we were going to read this this month? I had forgotten. I may be able to audiobook it next week, so let me know if anyone else is reading it or I'll listen to something else (I have two audiobooks waiting already)

Completely forgot. I have so many books going right now. I may be able to read it in 2 weeks.

Totally forgot about this. I read it several months ago for another group.

i might b able to fit this in though i have plans to read a lot this mnth

Shall we postpone then?

I really can't read it for a while, but don't wait for me if you find a good time. I'll try to work it in if I can.

I downloaded the audiobook yesterday, just in case I wont be able to read it but can manage to listen to it this month.

What shall we do? Suzie, are you and me only people here who are to read it now? Where are others? If its just us for us, we can accommodate Sue, for whenever she can read it?

I have in on cd so I am happy to wait - I have a ton of books to read anyway, do a hold on this would be good for me too

Just an FYI that Idiscovered by happy accident ... if you plan to watch either the new Dark Shadows or either of the TV series, read Dracula. first.

Looks like everyone is overbooked (pun intended) right now.

Ah! Which month do we choose then? Back to oct again or read it sooner than that?

Sorry, but I haven't been on Goodreads in awhile. I completely forgot about this discussion group and I'm reading so many other books right now...If anybody wants to salvage this group feel free.

Any decision made? Shall we move it back to October?

oct wud suit me i suppose

I'll try with October.

OK

Just checking to see if anyone else is planning to read Dracula this month. It seems to have become lost in all the reading shuffles. I think I'll try to fit it in before the end of the month.
