And usually I read the book before I see the movie, but I'm in two minds as to whether I'll bother seeing the movie after I read the book from what I've been hearing about it.Danielle Birchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796467053451208102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604033530537822263.post-72020921254564162062010-04-07T10:25:37.331-05:002010-04-07T10:25:37.331-05:00KC - I think that might be the only place you can ...KC - I think that might be the only place you can find a copy...or a library...maybe. <br /><br />Jamie - There's a reason Dracula's been around so long, right?Aaron Polsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173267932358617304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604033530537822263.post-15816899105015584852010-04-07T07:55:34.201-05:002010-04-07T07:55:34.201-05:00My boss recently started reading the Twilight book...My boss recently started reading the Twilight books.

Did you read her adult book "The Host" though? Surprisingly decent amount of tension reminded me a little of early Dean Koontz stuff we used to read.

IN FACT they were so excited that some of the schools were going to let out early for the release of the first movie... <br /><br />I was greatly disturbed. <br /><br />I like you're metaphor Aaron. That hits the nail right on the old noggin that does. And your book suggestions are great!
