Sundays with Vlad: From Pennsylvania to Transylvania, One Man's Quest to Live in the World of the Undead BY: Paul Bibeau
Non-fiction: popular culture, lit, history 290 pages
Book Count: 22
First, I like this book because it points out what few book that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject say, "Nobody, nobody at all, thinks American Budweiser tastes good." It even suggest other jobs that the company could better spent its time doing like making chemical weapons (which, may still taste better then Bud.)
Besides that, this book is on anything Dracula/vampire related from the historic Vlad to Count Chocula cereal. It also includes the story of how the author researched the book, which is where the Budweiser info comes into play as he actually travels to the Eastern European countries connected with Dracula where one can buy beer made in the city of Budweis (now Ceske Budejovice) It has a lot of funny parts. (Imagine a middle aged man in a minivan going off to the goth clubs.) It has a lot of information as well. And each chapter deals with a different part of the story and starts with a intriguing quote from later on in the chapter.

Hopheads think this beer's a dud,
For others, their favorite, it's Bud,
Wiser folks say,
Just drink what you may,
Your beer doesn't make you a stud.
I would just like to add that my main point was that the author had the same style beer made from the same place that Bud started. So it was a equal comparisent. He was doing a comparesent between two beers that should be almost exactly the same like the Pepsi chalenge of beers. Also to bug my sis about her love of Bud light with lime.
