Wuthering Heights

I effing hate it. I can appreciate the genius of Emile Bronte but her writing style is so hard to keep up with, and I'm a reasonably literate person. I'm finding it so hard to stay interested and I'm supposed to be finished by tomorrow.

 

My best friend had to do a thesis on it or something, and then suddenly announced that I reminded her of Lockwood..

So I thought.. Yes, ok.. I'll read some antiquated book written by a frustrated romantic...


Nah, I didn't like it either... Have to twist my mind and my lips just to be able to talk like the characters, and that just ain't GOOD!!!!!!

 

I like Kate Bush's song.

 

It's one of those books you like more after reading it. Like Heart of Darkness.
But yeah, I'm being forced to read Pride and Prejudice, so I don't think you have too much room to complain.

 

Not a fan.

 

I liked it all the way through. It was really exciting and made me cry loads. However all that old yorkshire was really hard to understand.

 

I really liked the book when I read it in high school. I like the line that says "Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same." I don't think that is exactly it, but it is close. I like thinking that two souls can be so similar.

 

That books made me puke a little inside my mouth.

Together with Heart of Darkness... now that it was mentioned here.

 

I really liked Wuthering Heights actually
Jane Austen's work bores me though

 

I liked it so much I read it a few times...I can still see the country side and the old houses in my minds eye, and I must have enjoyed the characters but I could'nt tell you why specifically anymore. Musta been almost 16 years ago that I read it.

 

I enjoyed it when I read it. Preferred her sister's book Jane Eyre, and actually think Jane Austen is superior to both. The Bronte's are hopeless romantics, whereas Austen has more of a sexually equal point of view towards the whole male/female relationship thing.
