Started reading Frankenstein, it's a bear. The interesting thing about it though is that, and I learned this from reading the forwards, Mary Shelly's husband rewrote the novel to make the language more reflective of literature at the time. He didn't change the substance of the story at all, just the way it was told. Apparently Mary's style was too "common." In other words, he changed "I love you" to "The depths of heart yearn with affection." She also wrote it on a bet.
