Books again

Finished reading Frankenstein, and Was not especially impressed with the story. It didn't provide me sufficient basis on which to suspend disbelief. (Mainly, I couldn't buy the monster's transformation into eloquent philosopher.) In the end, it felt like the story was a fairly thin framework upon which to hang a whole lot of explicit and ponderous philosophizing.

Was interesting to see how little overlap there is between the original story and movies based on that story.
