The covers are definitely encouraging. I actually saw "Frankenstein" the other day and was debating about whether or not to buy it.Natalie_vintage_girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089063496465996399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979252405466208842.post-71402746296126776052011-08-03T21:56:20.569+10:002011-08-03T21:56:20.569+10:00Classics are so important, aren't they?

Jane Eyre was one of my favorites; Wuthering Heights, not so much. Gothic Tales by Elizabeth Gaskill was good, as was Revolutionary Road by RIchard Yates (although I had trouble accepting the ending.) The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins and The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas were excellent but in true Victorian fashion were very looong. I have Anna Karenina up for a reread because I read it last (skimmed it, really) as a teenager many many years ago and feel I'd like to get to know her as an adult. I agree with you about Mrs Dalloway - I actually find Virginia Woolf quite tiresome. Have you read Dracula, Frankenstein, or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? They are ecellent! I loved those and found so much more in them than just the story. <br /><br />Great post! And with pretty covers too :)Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.com
