Great blog. I am particularly taken with this excerpt from Dracula because this is a favorite book of mine. Yet I don’t remember this scene at all. I don’t know if I am disturbed by that or feel fortunate because this means I will need to read it again. Thanks for posting it.

It also occurs to me to wonder how many books there are, especially in classical literature, in which there are scenes that take place in or around books or that, like here, show off home libraries. That might make an interesting column.
