Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
Both Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein are considered classics. Have you ever read either of them?
Answer:
I have read Dracula, but I haven't read Frankenstein. I am hoping to soon though! I don't do too well when it comes to old classics, I can't seem to get into them for the most part which makes them really intimidating for me. I think it's the old writing, and sometimes lack of dialogue. Books without dialogue seem to go even slower for me. Hopefully I can try Frankenstein! I hear nothing but great things.
I'm the same. I've read Dracula but not Frankenstein. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hear Frankenstein is amazing!
DeleteClassics can be hard simply because of the writing style back then. Writers definitely seemed to be far more into description than dialogue.

Yeah! Definitely. I also think my time at college as a English major may have burned me out of liking classics 😅
DeleteThanks for reading! Have an amazing weekend :)
I am actually listening to Dracula and I am really enjoying it so far. Have a great weekend and here is my blog hop answer.

Oooh that's awesome! And a great idea. Listening to classic horror may be even more fun then physically reading it. Thanks for giving me that idea! :)
DeleteI've haven't read Dracula yet, but I hope to do so soon!

I hope you like it when you do read it! And thank you for stopping by! :)
DeleteI'd read Dracula several times before I finally read Frankenstein. I enjoyed it, but definitely liked Dracula better.
ReplyDeleteOoh that's good to know. I remember enjoying Dracula but not loving it.
DeleteHope you'll enjoy Frankenstein. Yes, you do need to adapt to that period style of writing.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I think I've just been burned out from being an English major. I've somehow trained myself to feel like I'm doing homework when I read classics! I have to get out of that mindset
DeleteI haven't read either of them. I should, but I'm not sure I really want to.
ReplyDeleteI get that. At least they're always there as a back up! :)
DeleteI totally agree that classics can be a bit rough. I find that's especially the case when the format is letters, which these two are.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Typically I am not the biggest fan of that format which definitely doesn't help!
