    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.

    Finished John Dies at the End by David Wong. It was okay all in all - imaginative, but not very well-written.

    Started Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I’ve been working my way through Murakami in publishing order for the last few years, reading one every few months, and it’s time for this one. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far.
