Are you smarter than Frankenstein's Monster?

- Volney, C.F. - The Ruins, or Meditation on the Revolutions of Empires
- Milton - Paradise Lost
- Goethe - The Sorrows of Young Werther
- Plutarch's Lives (one volume)
These are the Books that the monster reads (or in the case of Volney, hears being read to someone else) in Mary Shelley's novel. It is now possible to get a college degree without having read any of these! I myself have only read half of them. My goal this year is to finish the list.
