Paperback or ebook for Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus? I tend to go for paper when I want to slow down with a book.

Orla, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Fionn, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
