That is, if I can trust cantankerous's opinion.

Huh, so you were going somewhere with that.
Fine. I take it's a good book and I look forward to reading it.

It's alright. I was a bit disappointed, personally. (But it was better than "The Consolations Of Philosophy".) I think Alain de Botton just quotes other people too much and doesn't have enough of a sense of humour for me. His writing style is nothing special, he just knows a lot and can quote it. He's a great researcher, I'll give him that.

I did enjoy the final chapter on "Bohemia" though.. but mostly for the subject matter (rather than his prose or his insight into the subject.)

"Dracula" is a good read. A lot of people may not like it as its written in a series of letters but I just read it like it was a first person narrative. I saw the Francis Ford Copolla film years before and its a bit difficult to not think of it, but over all its a good book. Definately a must read, its a classic.

it was assigned reading for me in eighth grade and i could barely penetrate the crazy wording. i was convinced Dickens just made up his own grammar rules. i imagine it would be significantly easier to read now.

other than that, it was a pretty good story.
