Frankenstein = the kind of conservatism worth giving a listen.

Dracula = the other kind.

Intriguing. I've never more than skimmed Dracula. Worth it?

The thriller aspects are competent, and Stoker writes well enough. Some striking images too.

Men like trees walking.

There, in two equations, the entire argument of my Gods & Monsters class.

Did you ever post what you ended up assigning for that?

Methinks I did but I'll be damned if I can find it now. Well, anyway, major long texts were Frankenstein, Dracula, & Lolita. Smaller works included Poe, Lovecraft (who is despicable but necessary), Kafka, Carter, Tiptree Jr., Link, & Russell.

Aha, nice. Though I don't know from Carter and Russell. They sound shifty and from Wyoming.
