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?

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 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!
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.
That reminds me, I need to find a copy of Bradbury's The Halloween Tree to reread this October.
The Haunting of Hill House, that's MY Halloween read.
Jilli, insent with a picture of the only copy of Dracula I found in the store.
