Van Gogh would’ve sold more than one painting if he’d put tigers in them.

I wasn't able to connect with Frankenstein like that. I'm not sure if it was my frame of mind when I read it or what. I read it about 20 years ago I guess. Honestly, I don't think I understood it completely. I followed the basic plot but I think I missed a lot. It sucks when you're distracted and don't appreciate a book like you should.

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn (not perfect or even unbiased, but informative and shows a different perspctive. It also discusses how history is decided and recorded in great detail)
The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan (a wonderful insight on skepticism and science)

That second one is great. Stuff like that should be read in schools.

I can't believe I have yet to read both of these classics. Adding to my list immediately; thank you.
