I'm reading Dracula for a summer reading project for my school. -__- I know, dumb. Well I'm on page 127 and I've started just skimming the pages. Its boring, I'm not into it. I think I'm starting to get behind. I hate reading when I'm forced to!! We have to write an essay afterwards and I don't want to fail. Plus I have ANOTHER book to do the same with after. My parents want me to finish before summer ends, but the dead line is like 6wks. After. Please help!! I want to be excited and actually WANT to read the friggin book.
Answer
Sometimes, watching the movie version can pique your interest in the book. I don't recommend substituting the movie for the book, just read alongside. Especially helpful if you can just watch parts of the movie, then read the part of the book that coincides. It's also helpful to pinpoint the differences between the two and consider why they were changed.
I've also had my kids listen to the audio version while they read classics for school that they find daunting. Most pre-1923 classics are available free in audio form at Gutenberg or Librivox.
I have to side with your parents on this one. If you're finding it difficult, even if you have plenty of time, it won't get easier if you wait. Especially if you don't think you're getting much out of it, you'll have time to read Sparknotes or other summaries of the work if you just get it over with now.

Are the books that are free on the nook the same books that are free on the kindle?

Or are they different?
if they are different, does kindle or nook offer more free options?

Probably yes. Free classics and out-of-copyright, pre-1923 books, as well as limited-time free promotional ebooks available for Kindle
