It was just a nickname. I just found out today that Jack is a nickname for John which makes no sense whatsoever. Oh well.

For that matter, why does the h in Thomas disappear in Tom?

Dunno. I've seen Thom as a name though.

FrodoFriend · 04-16-2002, 09:18 PM

Me too, but it's unusual.

TwirlingString · 04-16-2002, 09:23 PM

I think it was in the Into the land of the Unicorn books. There are lots of interesting vampyre stories out there though. Especially the Southern Vampyre books. So are the Blood books.

Interview with the Vampire was pretty good for a movie adaptation

I've never seen thet, was it good. In fact I've never even heard of that

Has anyone ever read my vampire books?

Oh wait, I haven't written them yet

Oh man! i gotta find that book. the original dracula... that sounds cool anyone know where i could get one?

TomFoolOfATook · 04-26-2002, 02:24 PM

Try looking in the Library - if you cant find it there and want to buy it go to a bookstore and look in the Classics section for Dracula. good luck - its a good book to read

Khadrane · 07-03-2002, 07:42 PM

Or look in a used bookstore. Any decent one should have a copy.

Not only is Dracula different, but it irks me how movies ALWAYS seem to change Frankenstein around so much. I recommend that book highly. It's very different than the movies I've seen.

I hated the book Frankenstein. But hey, that's just me.

One thing to keep in mind, the original authors copies of these books are what you're looking for. Make sure it's "Shelley" and "Stoker" when you look for authors of Frankenstein and Dracula. There is a lot of duplicaiton out there.

Khadrane · 07-05-2002, 12:08 PM

I read the right Frankenstein, I just didn't like it. Not my taste.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-09-2002, 04:47 AM

I found the original Dracula in a dusty used bookstore in Homer, Alaska a few days ago, so I bought it. It's rather interesting so far, but I havent' read much yet.

I read Frankenstein a few years ago for school. I thought it was good.

Khadrane · 07-17-2002, 10:51 PM

I thought Frankenstein was boring, but I was kinda being forced to read it, so that might have influenced my judgement.

Being forced to read a book generally does have that effect. "You mean I can't just enjoy the book, I have to write a paper on it?!"

Actually, I didn't even have to do a paper on it. I just had to read it. It didn't even have to be that book. Maybe it was just being forced to read in general that made me not like it. I usually love to read though...

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-18-2002, 07:42 PM

tsk, tsk. So many good books can easily be ruined by being forced on people (especially when papers must be written!)

At my school you never got away with just reading a book. You had to write a paper, and probably have it be over-analyzed in discussions.

Fortunately, I ended up enjoying a lot of those books anyway. Wouldn't it have been sad if I hated Alice in Wonderland just because I had to read it for school?

Faramir · 07-18-2002, 08:08 PM

Two Words: "Good Book." 'Nuff said.

Khadrane · 07-19-2002, 12:31 AM

Well, if I ever read Frankenstein again, I'll let everyone know what I think about it.
