[Vampyr]

That's one of my favorite things about English, just how mashed up and crazy it is. There's actually a movement out there to remove all the duplication and non-nonsensical parts, but I think that would kill the beauty of the language.

Also, I started reading The Passage last night. It is an awesome book, I'm about 100 pages in out of over 800, and the character development is superb. It's a vampire horror novel, but more along the lines of I am Legend than Dracula. It hasn't "jumped" yet, but supposedly the book covers hundreds of years of time. Very epic.
