I'm no stranger to long, heavy books. But Les Miserables almost did me in. And anything Dickens is tough for me- I just can't get past the slow beginnings. So I will have to consider Dracula carefully.

Except the Twilight series. Anyway, re: Dracula--it's a very slow read. I took it on when I was 16 (had to start it twice, 'cause it was hard to get into).
