“A friend once told me that the real message Bram Stoker sought to convey in 'Dracula' is that a human being needs to live hundreds and hundreds of years to get all his reading done; that Count Dracula, basically nothing more than a misunderstood bookworm, was draining blood from the necks of 10,000 hapless virgins not because he was the apotheosis of pure evil but because it was the only way he could live long enough to polish off his extensive reading list. But I have no way of knowing if this is true, as I have not yet found time to read 'Dracula.” IfsWayNeedsYearsHumansLongRealDoneEnoughEvilReadingFoundHuman BeingsKnowingBloodPureMessagesListsNecksVirginsMisunderstoodPolishDrainingBookwormsApotheosisPure EvilStokerCount DraculaExtensive Reading Author:Joe Queenan
