EVERYONE knows the story of Dracula!" but then it occurred to me: Most people probably DON'T in fact know the story of Dracula. Possibly you're thinking that I'm delusional. Now there are probably those of you out there that are thinking I'm probably nuts. Well keep dreaming, Keanu! That's what I say. You obviously think that some of my love for these movies will rub off on you, and that I'll be sitting there in the theater for your next picture. I mean after all, you're in The Matrix, The Devil's Advocate, and this marvel of cinematic opulence, Bram Stoker's Dracula. You think that by being in most of my favorite movies, you'll start to get me to think that you're a good - nay, great - actor. Oh yes, Keanu, you must have thought you were very sneaky with your little plot.

Catch Him If You Can (Accidentally Yours Series) The author writes about trade, religion, farming life, art and literature, which each in its own way, was as representative for the Scandiniavian culture at the time as were the violent raiding campaigns. Naturally, violence was part of that society, but Viking culture was much richer than that. In his book, Winroth tries to give the reader a concise but complete view on the Vikings and their society. Because of their attacking of monasteries and the Church in general, and the fact that the Church almost held the monopoly on literacy in the early Middle Ages, the Vikings still suffer from the distorted image of bloodthirsty heathen devils Christian monks made them in their writings. Vikings have a disproportionate bad press, argues Anders Winroth, the author of The Age of the Vikings.

Jane is to find herself romantically attached to a certain Chip Bingley, the star of the TV reality-dating show Eligible, in which dozens of attractive women compete for his approval. The Bennet sisters are now a quintet of unmarried women aged between 20 to 40, hailing from Cincinnati: Liz Bennet is a journalist working for Mascara magazine in New York her elder sister Jane is a yoga instructor, her younger sister Mary is a bookish student and the still younger Kitty and Lydia lead an underemployed, moneyed and faintly Kardashian-ish existence, living at home with their well-to-do parents.
