Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

3.0

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

3.0

Creepy. I found the florid writing irritating, but I think it was integral to the nature of the characters and got used to it eventually.

Robots and Empire by Isaac Asimov

3.0

I liked the short stories better, this felt like it dragged on a bit. Still interesting though.

Dear Hearts And Gentle People by Ruth Park

3.0

This is a really cute little story about a young girl growing up in 1920's rural NZ. A nice, easy read, Ruth Park captures her naivety and understanding of the events happening in her world. (Also titled "Pink Flannel")

The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham

3.0

Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel García Márquez

4.0

While the Light Lasts by Agatha Christie

4.0

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

3.0

Weird. This was not at all what I had expected, it's funny how popular culture can turn something eloquent (albeit a monster) into a slavering, bloodthirsty beast!
