78. The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. There's a reason why this thin book is so famous. Dr. Jeckyll stumbles upon a mixture that changes his appearance and releases him from his civilized, respectable life for a few hours ... I finished Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde this morning. I wonder why it took me so long to get around to it, as I loved Stevenson's Treasure Island. Dr. Jeckyll actually has a rather violent (for its time) scene that surprised me.

The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells. What a really great read. A psychological horror story equal to Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and, like Shelley's Frankenstein, questions our innate sense of what is unnatural. More super Halloween reading.

I'm almost done with Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde and I've gotten to the part of Dracula where Mina seems to have taken over the narration. I finished Trick or Treat Murder by Leslie Meier and posted my review. I wasn't impressed. I continue with The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde which I like alot. Looks like someone needs to clean up The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde if no one's been working on that yet.
