Wuthering Heights Emily Bronte

[robot_mel]

Wow! I read this years ago, and back then it put me to sleep. I loved the way she wrote but I just couldn't read more than a few pages at a time before falling asleep. The only other thing I remembered was that there was far too much about the 2nd Catherine. This time I really loved it! Such a beautifully sad story of isolation and love and such an odd bunch of characters. It was great to see the sympathetic "evil" and how the only real evil in the book was weakness. The 2nd Catherine was still far less interesting than the first, and I did feel like towards the end it got bogged down a bit, but all that was forgiven with Heathcliff's illness. When I went up and saw my mum she asked me about Jane Eyre and asked why I didn't find it terribly romantic, no I'm afraid she was just too whiny and submissive, here is much closer to how I few romance and felt there was real passion and love. Ghosts on the moors, what could possibly be more romantic than that? I Really Really loved it this time around, definitely shall be moving it up into my top 5 (or whatever) novels.
