![]() (Another E-book classic I’ve recently read) You have a man and a woman in love and then some “monstrous creature” come between them for the woman. ![]() The Phantom of the Opera is a love story. Maybe because it’s a masked man terrorizing people in an opera house? I also knew it was a book that fell for some reason or another on the occasional suggestion for horror Halloween reads. I knew that there’s an underground lake and a singing woman who is lured away by a masked man, who underneath the mask is not the most conventionally attractive man. Yet I knew some songs and some of the plot points. I’ve never seen the movie or the musical and didn’t until recently read the book. That’s how I am with The Phantom of the Opera. There are certain stories, especially classics, that become so ingrained in pop culture that it’s hard to avoid knowing anything about them. ![]() While I’m hurrying to read all my books I’ll sprinkle in reviews of things not in the bookcase. One is that I have this as an E-book, and the other is that I finished it before the dread of my impending deadline kicked in. You might notice that this book isn’t on my TBR bookcase. ![]()
