Its re-read Dracula time of the year

On modulation:
“I must say that I regard this ‘being underway’ as one of the most important features of vital composition, and that on occasion it appears to me even more important than clarity of goal. We ourselves are indeed on the way without knowing the goal!”

“It is mostly to bad books and wrong ideas, which forced me to think and find out what is right, that I owe the best of this book.”

Ayshen was kind enough to give me her book in exchange for an honest review!

“They describe us, that’s all. They have the power of deskription, and we succumb to the pictures they construct” … really hit me

I’ll admit I was very skeptical at first but ever since Kristoff hit me with the stoic grumpy man unwillingly becomes the father figure of fruity feisty orphan girl I’ve slowly turned to like this a lot more and now I’m fretting for everyone’s life…

I’m.. astonished? Gabriel thinks he’s the toughest man on earth for plucking 16 hairs off his dick for four weeks in an attempt to drill in the amounts of drops in a recipe… I can’t tell if the author is just a painfully heterosexual cis man or if he’s purposely trying to make his character seem like an edgy misogynistic wimp?

As much as I’m slightly cringing and growing bored of Gabriel seizing every chance he gets at telling Jean-Fraçois how much he has no more fucks to give in colorful ways, I do enjoy their banter

He named the horse jezebel because he’d only need her for one night like a prostitute… :’)

Why does this “I’m the chosen one” feel like a red flag?

“There are no female palebloods”
- will I be mad about this? Is this going to be one of those clearly written by a man books because then I will be very disappointed. I really hope not I’m enjoying it this far minus the weird period blood scene. And I still don’t understand why the vampire was looking at Gabriel’s dick in the beginning..

I know I just finished reading this a week ago but I joined Dracula Daily which emails out in real time the entries of the novel. And it so happens that Jonathan Harker’s first journal entry is on May the 3rd.

Bella theorizing Edward might be Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker certainly aged well :p

Yup it’s happening. (Can you even talk about modern vampires and melodrama without talking about twilight?)

Had to re-read this after watching the new Batman movie :p

“It is all over.” - Dr Seward. What an unfortunate thing to say at the midway point.

Yes it seems I am perpetually always in the process of rereading this. Rereading Dracula is a permanent state apparently.
