Frankenstein

March 21, 2011 | Filed under: Books

So I thought I had a pretty good handle on the whole Frankenstein book vs movie thing. I know I read the book when I was a kid, and I’ve seen more than a few different Frankenstein movies over the years. I remembered reading the book when I was in …

Into the Wild

March 18, 2011 | Filed under: Books, Movies, Music, Random Thought
