Happy March! May the third month of the year brings you many good books. Hopefully one of those good reads will be The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
I chose this classic mostly because I bought my nephew an adapted version and we plan to read it together.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the famous Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named John Gabriel Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde.
As always, feel free to recommend a book for next month.

Memoir of a Writer 
The big problem with this one is that adaptations of it are so common, so everyone knows the plot. Hard to approach it fresh.

True, but that’s the case for a lot of ‘classics.’ I can probably tell you plots of really popular books, yet it’s always a different experience reading it…or in this case, not an adapted version.
