“Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley

Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with the idea of resurrecting the dead. But the new “man” he makes out of stolen corpses fills him with disgust. Rejected by all, the creature sets out to destroy Frankenstein. And as the monster gets ever closer to his maker, the two become involved in a chase that takes them to the very end of the earth.

“Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens

Pip doesn’t expect much from life. But suddenly, things begin to change. Pip’s narrow existence is blown apart when he meets an escaped convict. Later, he becomes a regular visitor to a mysterious old woman, and meets the beautiful but ice cold Estella. Most surprisingly of all, an anonymous person starts giving Pip money to begin a new life in London. Are these events as random as they seem? Or is something going on?
