I want to read, but my problem is that I get bored very easily. I like a book that gets to the point and doesn't spend time dwelling over the details in the setting or the colour of a characters flush face. The two series that automatically attracted me and had me hooked in the past were The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd and Cirque Du Freak... Yes both are novels based on vampires, but I don't only read vampire books. I like the mythology, but anything as to the point should do fine. Cirque Du Freak is especially done well due to its thriller/horror elements. Basically, I don't like excruciating detail in a book, half of the reason why I migrated to Comic books, elegantly referred to as Graphic Novels.

I read the Phantom of the Opera in third grade, but I'm pretty sure it was an adaptation. I remember only 2 things about it. One, there was this one scene full of intense violent imagery where one of the characters was basically burning up in a room full of mirrors. Two, this book had accounts of the Phantom's past and his childhood, short but there. I don't know if this is the actual book or one of the adaptations. The only thing I could find that looked somewhat familiar was the cover of the Kate McMullan adaptation. Could anyone help me out?
