Should I read Frankenstein (Shelley) or The Picture of Dorian Gray (Wilde)?

I'd say read both. They're both wonderfully written stories from Victorian Britain. I think either one would be appropriate for a ten day read because they're accessible and entertaining enough to keep you turning the page without getting too bored. It really depends on what type of literature you prefer. They're both of the gothic genre, but Wilde is a bit more decadent whereas Shelley is dark and brooding. This question alone makes me want to pick up the books again and devour them once more.
