Quit being such a smartass about your opinion, and maybe realize people will have different opinions. All I asked was if you'd read the book, but you had to go into another rant. I'm done trying to have an educated opinion about this matter with you.
I'm confused. I thought you had asked me whether I had read the book. Since my reply consisted of two sentences, I don't see how it qualifies as a "rant."

I do feel compelled to point out that, regardless of their relative cinematic qualities, on a plot level NOSFERATU is not closer to the book than the 1931 DRACULA. Much more of Stoker makes it into the Lugosi flm -- although, admittedly, most of it is distorted to suite the film.
