Two Classic Must Reads



So I've made it goal to read more classic novels. I feel guilty for being an English teacher for two years and having several classic novels I haven't touched like A Brave New World or 1984. So I started with some classic horror novels and was not disappointed to say the least.

If you haven't read Dracula by Bram Stoker or Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, please by all means do so. These are both fantastic books. Very well written, witty and very, very scary.

Of course you had to go with the "scary" novels. It is good though that you are soaking up a wide variety. Good for you! I may just have to read considering I do have a recent addition to my family that is a direct decendant of the "Dracula"-Yes Drakulich is the name. Interesting huh?

Like how scary? Because I am not good with scary/depressing/sad, but love to read. I will have to pick them up.

so which one is better?

I think Frankenstein is better. Probably because it has super witty funny lines. It's great!
