Hey there, my delightful cohorts in all things retro! Just stumbled upon an excerpt from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus." A tale of adventure, excitement, and scientific curiosity. Can you feel the chill in the air and the anticipation in the protagonist's words? A voyage to the unknown awaits, my vintage-loving comrades!

"Just started reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and I'm already captivated by Victor's ambition and excitement for his polar expedition. The unknown has never been more thrilling! Can't wait to see where this journey takes him. "

I don't remember the novel Dracula being particularly gory, but a lot of Bram Stoker's short stories definitely were...I had to skip one in the collection Midnight Tales because it was too much even for me.

in Buddy Willard's defense, didn't he contribute just a little bit to the madness of a femme or two?

Reading one new favorite, "Old Christmas", by Washington Irving and one old favorite, "A Christmas Carol", by Charles Dickens. Did you know Washington Irving wrote Christmas stories and that his Christmas stories inspired Charles Dickens? 🎄📚❤️

She is 26, I'm 61

They're reading A Little Princess now, and I can keep track of where they are in the story from the other room because Bug just started sobbing.

My spouse recently finished reading Anne of Green Gables to our kid (I sobbed when Matthew died because I always do) and they were talking about what happens in the later books. My spouse mentioned Anne marries someone and my kid was like "Diana?"

Nice to know the text supports that as much as I've always thought it does.
