Completed Frankenstein last night. It was a much more enjoyable read than I anticipated and would recommend it.

Frankenstein
10 months ago
I’ve only got 26 of the 100 read so far and have had this list in my possession for about five years. I thought reading some of the classics would not only make me a more “well-read” reader but also allow me to discover what is so unique about each piece and lent to its popularity.
I was recently going through my stacks of “haven’t read yet” titles and found a copy of Shelley’s Frankenstein that I acquired when I was helping someone move. I just started reading it two nights ago and have been enjoying it so far. It’s difficult for me to think of a 19 year old writing this but, then again, the syntax of even a verbal conversation in Shelley’s time would have been quite different to something overheard today. Hopefully the plot will continue to draw me in and I can see the complexities of this work which are often overlooked in film adaptations. (I can’t say I’ve ever felt sympathy for Frankenstein or his creature on the silver screen.)
