Dracula 🧛‍♂️

Not a fan of scary books or films but this is on my daughter’s reading list so I thought I’d better read it to see how appropriate it is for a 12 year old. Given that I live alone, miles from the nearest lamppost, sleep with my windows wide open and had a bat in my bedroom last summer I wasn’t looking forward to it, but it’s more of a thriller and it’s a superb read- I’m throughly enjoying it and would strongly recommend it.

Enjoying this immensely. A great story and the writer has a superb turn of phrase. Surprisingly funny at times too.

It is a classic. Frankenstein is also well worth a read if you're enjoying Dracula.

John Mortimer Rumpole and the Reign of Terror


Such an easy read.

I would hope that one day they might make a new TV series of Rumpole.

Some good ideas for future reads, thanks for the posts.


Does anyone read the classics? About 20 years ago I started collecting early editions of Jane Austen, this meant buying a modern reprint at the same time because some of these leather bound books were still wrapped in the Victorian printers paper and inside a slip case, so I was buying a £1 paperback because I didn't want to be the first to unwrap the book, crackers!
