Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was the first book I brought to read during my hike this summer, and also the first time I’d ever brought a book on a hiking trip. Loved it. I especially appreciate the roundabout style narration. You rarely get information first-hand, it’s almost all reported within the dialogue or letters from the characters. I think what I’ll most remember from this book is just the simple pleasure of reading it. When I was out hiking, sunset came around 8:30pm and darkness soon after. This was my last waking pleasure each night, just a few pages after dinner, reading until I got sleepy or just couldn’t see anymore.
