I'm trying to read Frankenstein...

There are a LOT of words that I've never heard of. Must persevere and finish the book in order to expand my dwindling vocabulary... like Akeelah in 'Akeelah and The Bee' - a movie about the US National Spelling Bee.

NB: This is how I pass time :s But only when I am VERY VERY BORED. I'm not always a word geek....
