One thing I did this week on my vacation was read. It was nice just sitting around all day with nothing to do but read. One of the books I read was the new novel by Elizabeth Kostova, The Historian.
It takes a DaVinci Code style to Dracula. It puts Dracula alive and living in the now, with a historian trying to track him down and hints and clues appearing all over the world in real life events places.
I was surprised, you assume the main character of the book is going to be the daughter of the Historian, but it really is about her father. The title Historian could actually apply to a few of the characters in the book, including Dracula himself.
It's a book without a lot of real action, especially considering the subject matter, but I found it interesting and I raced through the six hundred pages in two days.
