Right now I'm reading Dracula for my AP lit class, and we'll be reading Frankenstein around halloween. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, but its never as good if you HAVE to read it. In my "free time" ill be plowing my way through crime and punishment. *sigh* i miss the days when i actually had time to read for pleasure. (says the girl who spent her entire day on MusicBanter rather than doing her calc homework. ah hypocrisy).

I also just finished 1984 (also for AP lit) and Steinbacks Of Mice and Men. Steinback has such a twisted sense of plot...i would have loved to have met him. Both books were incredibly depressing and completely void of hope...perhaps thats why i've been in such a ****ty mood lately. oh well, life will go on.

I read both Dracula and Of Mice and Men back in high school.

Dracula was quite a good read, especially after having been enthralled with the film in my childhood.

I still occasionally quote Of Mice and Men nowadays. There are some strong themes going on there; loneliness, hope, dreams etc. And of course the touchy topic of euthanasia crops up.
