Frankenstein is one of the most heart wrenching books I've ever read...

Then you have not read "Caleb Williams" (1794) by Mary Shelley's father, William Godwin. A novel on social injustice and the power the rich can weild over the destitute.

From a societal perspective, both Frankenstein and Dracula have a greater appeal in pop-culture, but from a literary standpoint the allusive nature, themes and innovative (for the time) structure of Moby Dick is far more important, making it one the greatest American novels.

1. Dracula
2. Frankenstein

3. Moby Dick (very long winded. Far too much on the history of whaling and the anatomy of whales, not enough plot and character development).
