I've read Dracula recently and holy crap was it annoying.
Starts of really cool and interesting, but then it gets so sappy and the pace is bad.
The whole letters and diary entries shtick gets on one's nerves after a while as well.
And Van Helsing's frickin accent. Ugh.
And it's not that I have a problem with older literature, I've read and enjoyed plenty of books from that time and before that.
