Jilli, anything specific? Or will any Dracula do?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I have the two paperbacks with the tie-in covers for the Coppola movie, and I've got the various paperback versions that B&N re-releases. Other than that, I will take any edition. The older the better, of course. Thank you for looking!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You would love the copy I have, which has a really goofy picture of Dracula sneaking up on unsuspecting victim. I think it might even be a large print edition.
One of these days, I'll actually read the damn book.

Okay, now that I'm done reeling in shock at that statement: there are sections of the book that are difficult to get through, and Cleolinda was absolutely correct when she said Van Helsing speaks in kind of a LOLCats syntax. But still! Read the damn book!

Every time October comes around, I consider doing a Frankenstein/Dracula doubleheader, but then I'm always embroiled in something else. This year, looks like I'll be in the middle of the Dresden Files.
I did read the novelization of the Coppola movie! Does that count?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

As a violation of the space-time continuum, yes.

For October reading rituals, I like A Night in the Lonesome October, by Roger Zelazny--if I can find my damned copy!

I have three hours to myself other than customers, I plan on scanning all the shelves anyway. Though we don't get much in terms of older books. I also plan on pulling the sci-fi stuff from the fiction section and putting them where they belong.

Pumpkin, there is not enough ::facepalm:: in the WORLD to convey my reaction to that.
