Today I read some of Dracula by Bram Stoker. In the story, Jonathan Harker awakens at the count's house. He finds breakfast (or supper; it is about 5 o'clock in the evening) waiting on a table for him outside his room. After eating, he wanders into a library, which is suprised to discover holds many English texts. Apparently, the count learned the English language and some of England's customs by reading alone. He is very eager to move to his new house in England, which Harker is there to sell to him.
