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

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.
