Just started reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Before that it was Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Just some light summer reading then?

Haha, yes. My local bookshop had a sale on new prints of classical books. I also picked up a copy Frankenstein that I've read already.

Those are some great books to read over the summer. Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment, and Frankenstein are in my list of favourite books. I'm currently really enjoying a non-fiction book on Frankenstein called "Frankenstein a Cultural History" by Susan Tyler Hitchcock.
