[Necro Red]

I finished Frankenstein there yesterday. Fairly impressive a 20 year old conjured this together. I didn't find it overly engaging, yet it is very well written. Perhaps dated in the way it's written. I was expecting it to be a bit more about the monster really. Still decent though

I re-read it last year. Definitely easier to make sense of his language as an adult.

Did Macbeth for the leaving  cert and it still holds up today lol. No s great play loved it then too. Hamlet is fantastic too.
Im reading Bewilderment by Richard Powers.

Read Frankenstein last year I think . Really enjoyed it. Was surprised some of it was set in Ireland.

I don't think I've read Hamlet and I really must.

Read Frankenstein many years ago and remember very little, but I remember thinking it was deadly. Might have to revisit that.

Read Frankenstein, Dracula and Jeckyll & Hyde in short order. Classics all.

Hamlet is the only one that compares to Macbeth for me (I mean, they're all good out of the ones I've read, but those two are the best). I'm currently reading King Lear for the first time though and so far it's also really good.

It's astonishing just how many phrases, idioms and words come from Shakespeare, truly astonishing.
