3. Mary Shelley (1818), Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus

I read this in preparation for a trip to Geneva with the Dracula Society, organised to mark the bicentenary of the famous wet weekend in the Villa Diodati which gave rise to it (and to Polidori's 'The Vampyre'). I never wrote about the trip here in any detail, because it came half way

I haven't re-read Frankenstein in years, but was thinking of getting the recently released annotated version to read. So it's particularly interesting for me to read your thoughts on it at the moment.

That sounds like an excellent reading investment! I hope you enjoy it and will share your own thoughts in due course.
