Not much from my side. I am still reading Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. It's an interesting book, even though I am missing every "pop reference" of plays etc. Someone who get those references would probably enjoy it a lot more.

What about all of you? What have you been reading (or listening) lately?

Dracula is very good. What I find interesting is with all the re-imaginings out there, sometimes you don't really know what happened in the original story. For example, I was quite surprised when I read the actual classics like Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Peter Pan etc.

BTW how is The Last Voyage of the Demeter? I haven't watched it yet.

I didn't watch it yet either, but the reviews here say it was a wasted opportunity. I still plan to watch it eventually. But yes, the very old classics really have some interesting tidbits and style. I feel like modern authors could learn a lot by revisiting them.
