I seem to remember there being a copy in the house which means I probably did read it. But, I also saw the movie version so it might just be that I watched it and remember that. I guess I'll find out when I'm it it!<br /><br />Tif - I think it will be my next read!<br /><br />Iris - Wonderful!

I...Oh, you have so many good titles to choose from! I loved Dracula, the original, when I read it for an earlier RIP years ago. In fact, I so clearly remember most of what I've read for this challenge, as it's a genre I don't normally pick up. I loved Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, too. But, some of the titles which intrigue me most from your list are The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Treasure Island. Can you believe I've never read the later? My son loves that novel! And he doesn't read nearly as voraciously as I do. ;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-73611940561641029522011-09-05T21:49:41.870-07:002011-09-05T21:49:41.870-07:00Jenny - I've been spotty this year too but I&#...Jenny - I've been spotty this year too but I'm hoping that this is something that helps me get back on track! I hope to get to the Agatha Christie book too.<br /><br />Jenners - Yay!<br /><br />Danielle - I'm about 60 pages in and there have already been multiple faintings. ;) And I hope to get to the Hoobler book because their other book was so engaging.<br /><br />Heather - Sounds like you have some great reading ahead of you too!<br /><br />Deslily - I couldn't remember which comment format had problems. I've switched back to the pop-out window! And I didn't think I ever wanted to read The Mystery of Edwin Drood because it's not finished but I've changed my mind recently.<br /><br />Tif - Hooray! This challenge is perfect for you! And I know that you're the biggest Erik Larsen fan ever. I promise to read that one this year!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-72440723695762084292011-09-04T21:46:29.597-07:002011-09-04T21:46:29.597-07:00Guess who is signing up this year?!?!?

I loved The Mysteries of Udolpho though be prepared for lots of fainting spells! :) One year I read the Hoobler book along with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

I've had it on my wishlist forever and owned a copy for a couple of years now. I need to get to it!<br /><br />Trish - I liked the Hooblers' other book about art (The Crimes of Paris) so I'm sure I will like this one too. They write in a very easy to read way.<br /><br />Tracy - I'm excited to finally get to them. They're two of my definites for this season.<br /><br />Deslily - I bet! I haven't even started looking at other posts yet. As you can see, I have too many RIP books to get through already!<br /><br />Amanda - I will make sure to. It's always referenced in Gothic fiction so I feel the loss that I haven't read it yet (same with Udolpho that I'm finally reading now!).Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-85799303834056589522011-09-01T11:53:00.602-07:002011-09-01T11:53:00.602-07:00The Monk!!!!!
