Wow, wow, wow - How did I not read this in high-school? or college?!
EVERYBODY should read this book - required life reading. Forget the Hollywood version of this book and the "Monster". So deep, Mary Shelley is amazing and the themes that she dives deep into - family, isolation, society, ambition, revenge, prejudice...nevermind that this was first published in 1818, EVERYTHING still holds up in the 21st century.

Quotes Xine Liked
“Even broken in spirit as he is, no one can feel more deeply than he does the beauties of nature. The starry sky, the sea, and every sight afforded by these wonderful regions, seems still to have the power of elevating his soul from earth. Such a man has a double existence: he may suffer misery, and be overwhelmed by disappointments; yet, when he has retired into himself, he will be like a celestial spirit that has a halo around him, within whose circle no grief or folly ventures.”
