Yesterday I finished reading Frankenstein ( or The Modern Prometheus ) by Mary Shelley, published for the first time in 1818.
Of course I knew already the plot, but the book is much sadder than what I expected. The monster inspired me pity, what a "man" can do to fight loneliness. And what a man can do to gain good success and feel like God.
The story is told by letters, Robert Walton writes to his sister Margaret. In his trip to the north meets Victor von Frankenstein who, after some hesitations, tells him how he created such a monster and all his sad adventures.
Anyway, next week is Christmas, I just finished buying presents. I just bought to Ju, my sister and my mum. To no one else. Actually yesterday I understood how a small and simple Christmas present can be totally misunderstood, so I think I'll be very very careful since now on with them.
Yesterday also Ju's brother got married, I wished I was there. Ju said they had lots of fun :)
I wanna make some ginger cookies, but I have never made them before, any good and easy recipe to suggest?
Maybe I give a look in the internet and see what i can find. :)
