Frankenstein

I started reading Frankenstein first. I'll get to the La Guin. Its kind of fitting that I read Mary Shelley right now. I'm getting sick and 19th century Gothic literature is just what I need right now. The Left Hand of Darkness will be good for while I'm recovering. I'm also gradually reading Cure for the Common Life. Not so much because I feel like I need a cure or because I feel like I'm worthless but I really like it. Its not just for "losers", its also a good way to remind yourself that your talents are not your own and you should be using them to further God's kingdom.

My October Books

So I've kind of given up on my old list. Some of them I started and just couldn't get into, others I just am choosing not to read right now. Oh well. There is a new list though. October is here and that means scary movies, too much candy, and dark books. I'm gradually making my way into the "scary" books. Here is my list in order of how I will read them:

• The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Leguin
• Frankenstein by Mary Shelly
• Dracula by Bram Stoker
• The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

I'm looking forward to this month. I like darker literature.
