I was deeply disappointed at the distance between the actuality of ancient Egypt and Stoker's portrayal. No 7-fingered Egyptian priestesses & murderous mummy cats who might well come back to like. I got over my disappointment & tried to learn hieroglyphics anyway. /2

Similarly, a book that changed David Hartwell's life was Tom Swift & His Television Detector. It was, as I recall the story, the first science fiction he read. /3
