The very same thing happened to me: wanting to read more vampire books after Dracula. And for a while I put that notion aside as I started to read other kind of books. But in the last few months I've been all about vampire books whenever I have the time, and have read some fantastic one. Definitely some of my favorite reading material.
And gosh, I haven't seen Buffy episodes in ages! I was a fan though .
Oh no don't you worry about your review; it really was great. I think I can manage reading A Clockwork Orange. Unfortunately, thanks to my psychology classes and a few lessons on abnormal behavior, I've had to read through some things I wish I had not. Maybe that made me tougher for reading material similar to that in any way.
As for Gerald's Game, I admit that when I read the synopsis I thought, "Well, I really don't think that I can manage through who knows how long she might stay handcuffed if this is all that happens in the book" , but we'll see.
I'll be sure to mention to you what I thought of them too when I get to the books if you'd like .
