This is my first time for the BOM club. I've been looking forward to it. So, am I to assume that the selection is Dracula and that others will be reading/discussing? I'm only asking because I didn't see any announcement in this thread of it being finalized.

The book for the month of May is Dracula. The others are not one of the book club books.

By "others" I meant to find out if anybody else is going to be reading it. I didn't want to be a member of a club of one.

Unfortunately, I've already read it, so I won't be participating, but I'm thinking about reading the runner up, Frankenstein. |

I quite like that style when done well. I will be reading it - well, re-reading it, because it's been so long since I last read it.

I find Dracula is hard going as it's one of those books I have to concentrate on. I do hope it picks up as it's way over descriptive to start with.

Yes, it is very slow going. I'm having a hard time getting into it at the moment. I do hope it picks up soon.

I've read it several times. It does pick up. At a point there will be several different stories going on. Each is is an interlocking piece of the puzzle.
