"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Teaser Tuesday (37)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following!

  • Grab your current read.
  • Open to a random page.
  • Share a few teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
  • MAKE SURE NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (you don't want to give too much away and ruin the book for other readers)
Share the title and author too, so that other readers can add your book to their TBR list if they like your teaser!

iDrakula 
by Bekka Black
Publication Date: October 1, 2010


Then he rattled on like always.  Indisposed?  They hauled Renfield Jr. past me screaming.  He actually bit the head off a little gray mouse he caught in the cafeteria.
(Pg. 3)

Okay, this book is awesome!  I found it at my library while browsing (one of my favorite ways to discover books).  This story is told completely in emails, texts, and web pages.  It is such a cool way to present a classic with a modern twist.  I could see so many of my students enjoying Dracula even more if it was supplemented with iDrakula.

    What a goofy title! Is it actually Dracula moving into the digital age?

    I love when an author takes a classic and updates it. This one sounds terrific! (Well ... unless you happen to be a mouse in the cafeteria!)
