Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

[sitonmyinterface]

I am reading "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", after having only read the children's classics version as a kid. It's a short one, and (Fun Fact!) Robert Stevenson wrote it in ten weeks time high on cocaine.

I am behind 2 books in my Goodreads reading challenge and I'm trying to "cheat" by breezing through some short novels. They are still books, are they not? I am looking for book recommendations that do not exceed 150-200 pages. IOW, novella recommendations :)

You know, I've actually never read that. I own it, along with a bunch of other classics, but just haven't read it yet. Some of the classics are really hard to read. I thought that I would love Dracula, but couldn't even finish it.

I also tried to read Dracula. Didn't get through it.

Now I don't feel so bad! Being such a huge horror fan, I just kept thinking, "I should love this book!" and I really didn't.
