I am reading Frankenstein. It has really shocked me in the difference between the actual book and how Frankenstein is generally portrayed nowadays. The writing is eloquent and beautiful, lyrical. I will certainly read some more Shelley afterwards, any suggestions? I usually tend to read science fiction, so it has been very interesting to read the source of it all.
