Just finished Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. In reading this I found that the pop culture versions of Frankenstein vary a great deal from Shelley's story. When I think of Frankenstein's monster I think of a mindless beast while in the story the monster shows great eloquence. Also the monster has much more agility than a human whereas we more often see him slowly plodding along. Also, in the book there is no mention of Dr. Frankenstein's assistant, Igor.
Lets see. What's next? Time to go to the trusty Random.org. It appears the next choice will be Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence.

One of my other literary friends reads Frankenstein each year during Halloween.
