I probably am actually... I'm going to very stupidly wait until it's dark to read more Dracula, for instance, because it'll scare me.

It shouldn't be scary yet apparently, though!

Literature is subjective. If you're scared it's scary.

Well yes but what he said Plus that's probably the biggest load of bollocks I've read in a while. Whilst I don't buy into the 10 fathom deep meanings some idiots think is clever on old Will you'd be mad to think they are in the same hemisphere. Hang on it's Aaron. Ok.
