That's the way Vampyres should be portrayed. Traditionally, they are inhuman monsters, and it's good when they remain such, IMO.

GW that is an impressive list! I wish I had that many books.
My bookshelf spans two houses (Not because it's so huge...but because I go between places) Half my books are in Manchester, half in Swansea. Books I can't remember who they're by because they're in Manchester: What, When, Where, Why and How it Happened. (Covers major world events from ancient times, up to 2000) The Big Book of Facts (Divided into sections, arts, science, geography etc.) Egypt: A travellers Guide Chinese Quisine Indian Quisine The entire 26 Volume Encyclopaedia Brittanica (From about 1920 - is all leather bound and cool! ) The little book of cocktails The Origins of Everyday Things (This book is Awesome.) A book about writing for publication, how to lay out manuscripts, all that technical stuff. I think I might have to give up on the ones at home because I can't remember them all. Language/Reference: Collins Dictionary Collins Thesaurus Chambers Dictionary The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of the English Language / David Crystal Egyptian Grammar / Alan Gardiner Ancient Egyptian: A linguistic Introduction / A. Loprieno How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A step by step guide / Mark Collier and Bill Manley Ancient Egyptian Literature Volume 1: The Old and Middle Kingdoms / Miriam lichtheim Ancient Egyptian Literature Volume 2: The New Kingdom / Miriam Lichtheim The Literature of Ancient Egypt: An Anthology / Edited by W. K. Simpson Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian / R. O. Faulkner The Writer's and Artist's Yearbook 2006 / A&C Books History The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt / I. Shaw The British Museum Dictionary of Ancient Egypt / I. Shaw and P. Nicholson Akhenaten: Egypt's False Prophet / Nicholas Reeves Egypt of the Pharaohs / A. Gardiner Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt / E. Hornung Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife / E. Hornung Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt / J. H. Taylor Religion and Magic in Ancient Egypt / R. David Egyptian Gods and Goddesses / G. Hart Ancient Egypt / B. Kemp History of Ancient Egypt / N. Grimal The Complete Pyramids / M. Lehner The Ancient Egyptians / Brewer and Teeter Egyptian Ideas of the Afterlife / W. Budge The Secret of the Incas: Myth, Astronomy and the War Against Time / William Sullivan Black Barty: The Real Pirate of the Caribbean / Aubrey Burl Histories / Herodotus And about a million copies of single chapters or articles I needed on Egyptology for my dissertation. Some History subjects in my books at home so you don't think I only read about Egypt : Exploration, WWI, WWII, History of Medicine, Mythology (world), Ancient Greece, History of Art. Classics Iliad; Oddessy / Homer The Satyricon / Petronius (I hate this book with much much hatred.) Catullus: The Complete Poems / Catullus The Aenied / Virgil The Golden Ass (Also called Metamophoses) / Apuleius Drama Hamlet; Macbeth; Twelfth Night / Shakespeare Fiction: Harry Potter 1-6 JK. Rowling [b]Lord of the Rings (3 volume version); The Silmarillion; The Hobbit / Tolkien The Silver Crown / R. Brian An Instance of the Fingerpost / I. Pears The Portrait / I. Pears All Fall Down; Dead Run; Shocking Pink; See Jane Die; Red; In Silence / Erica Spindler Tale of Two Cities / Dickens Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility / J. Austen Jane Eyre / C. Bronte The Girl with the Pearl Earring / Tracy Chevalier Tipping the Velvet / Sarah Waters The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night / Mark Haddon Good Omens / T. Pratchett Stonehenge / B. Cornwell I also have books about the Natural world (Covering the Ocean to the Desert), science (The science of Star wars is awesome!) and lots of other stuff. Yeah. There's a few. There's too many to remember to list, I need to be looking at them. I have to do some work now. But will add to my list when I remember more! It's a bit of a random selection. GW: I have this book: The Man Who was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton : but have never read it, is it any good?

It's been a while since I read it, but I recall finding it to be hard but good. I remember clearing seeing that there was a LOT more depth and meaning on various levels to the story than I got out of it.

That's De Interpretatione, and Prior ANALYTICS to you, good sir! Definitely right about poetry, though. I've read all of Wilde's, but want to expand to Chesterton, Shelley, Keats, etc.
