There are few classical literature books that I wish I could have read blind more than The Stranger Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I wonder how the suspense and the tension would have hit had I not known what the twist at the end was since I was a small child. 

This isn't my first time reading the actual story -- that was in an English class I took probably ten years ago. But I had the same question then. How would the tension and the suspense have built had I not known the final twist of the book? What theories would I have concocted? Would I have thought this whole book and the final twist ludicrous if it wasn't so built in to our public consciousness already?  

Its impossible to know. But even knowing the story since I was a kid, actually reading it is a whole new experience, and I can't wait to dive immediately back in for the queer reading paper I'm going to write for it.
