"One Fiction, One Non-fiction" + Movies

Reading is a frugal person's hobby. 


Now, I have to admit, when I have some non-fiction reading binge, I'd end up getting bored out of my wits few books after. It goes the same way when I do some science fiction reading binge! I need balance, so here I am, doing a : ONE FICTION, ONE NON-FICTION thing. 

This is the first week I am doing this and I hope this will cure the boredom I always feel after reading too much fiction or too much non-fiction in a long stretch of time.


So, I already read Think Like a Freak by no other than Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, and I am currently reading Dracula My Love: The Secret Journals of Mina Harker by Syrie James. See, a non-fiction and a fiction! All is well!

Having been able to read Dracula in Love and Bram Stoker's Dracula, I also need to read the Dracula, My Love book. The Dracula in Love and Dracula, My Love are based on the Bram Stoker's Dracula, so got to read 'em, right?!

I also picked up DVDs that I put on hold in my local library:

• Bam Stoker's Dracula- I already watch this before but having read the book, I opted to watch the movie again while the information and scenes that were in the book is still fresh.
• The Secret Life of Walter MITTY
• The Other Guys

Movies and Books: Going with the Halloween Theme

To go with the Halloween theme, I decided to read some scary books. 

I originally wanted to read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but it wasn't available on e-book version in my local library. So I opted with this e-book: Dracula in Love by Karen Essex

- If you watch or have read Bram Stoker's Dracula, this book is actually Mina's side of the story. There is a lot of sex and sexual act involve so this book is for mature readers only. I think, Dracula was describe here as super hot and super sensual kind of man! I feel in love with him through this book! Hehe



Of course, once I finished the Dracula in Love book in just a day, I jumped and read the classic Bram Stoker's Dracula book! I was worried that it is going to be hard to read considering that it  is an old book. But to my surprise, it's not naman! I am glad it's available in e-book version in my local library. It saves me time coz I can automatically download it without having to go to the library personally. I am still 50% done with the book, by the way. I am planning on rewatching the Dracula movie again once I'm done with the book.







Last night, I also squeezed in some movie time, too. I borrowed it from the library by the way. I actually saw this movie when I was younger, but only some scenes remain in my memory bank, like when Kirsten Dunst cut her hair coz she wanted to be older but her hair just grows back- that's the only scene that comes to mind when I think about the movie.

Booooooooooo! Happy Halloween, folks!
