"Frankenstein"

I finished reading the original "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley and its safe to say that most portrayals of this story in motion pictures have been way way off. The style in which Mary Shelley wrote is very similar to that of "Dracula" in my opinion. It is written in letter format in a few persons' perspective. The choice of words used is different from "Dracula" but on the same level of comprehensibility, and I found it to be quite an ensnaring story. I'd recommend it, not because it uplifts but because it was well written and a classic.

Now I have to find another book to read... that's always the hard part.
