Dracula!
I've been studying 19th Century British Literature this summer.
I finished Frankenstein, which was good, but started to bore me to tears towards the end.
I finished Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde which was also good, but short, and a little... amateurish (sorry, RL Stevenson).
Now I'm reading Dracula, which was written towards the end of the century, and I LOVE it.
The writing is very modern so it's not difficult to read at all, it's SUPER scary, and I've just been devouring it as fast as I can. It is so so so interesting!
So I'm recommending it. I don't often recommend the books I read in school, because really, who wants to read Old Arcadia or Faerie Queene or Jew of Malta just for fun? Only a crazy English major. But Dracula... that is a really really good book. If you haven't read it before, you should read it. Great summer reading too!
GAH, I'm only halfway done, I have 200 pages to go and I can't read fast enough!!!
