Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Holy hell, boring! Some parts are pretty interesting but the characters talk and talk and talk!
Yep, Van Helsing is perhaps the most boring man ever. He has the amazing ability to take several pages to point out the most obvious things ever (using the stupidest analogies ever)
Currently reading Shadow by KJ Parker, not quite sure what to make of it so far.

Did you know Caesar was a nice guy? 
And you thought the rest of the book was... different?
And whats up with the pseudo-intellectual guilt trip apt-name?

Just finished the Art of War when I was doing laundy earlier... just as blah as the first time I read it, the historical notes in the beginning (not by Sun Tzu) are much better than the pointless generalities...

"Peloponez War" by Tuchitides... great!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

@Brynjar
If you don't like the diamond throne let it slide. I have read most of his work but more out of boredom and early in my developing fantasy reading. Most of it is more of the same. It has to be said though I found some of the later work more interesting. (Redemption of Althalus) The first book of his latest series has left me unimpressed. (Wondering if I will even buy the second book I saw was out recently)
Reading: Scepters - L.E. Modesitt Jr.
