Well, I suppose it gets them reading...

I expect the people on my FL who like books will spontaneously combust at this one.

I think it suits them down to the ground :-)

(No I don't like Wuthering Heights. Does it show.)

Actually I also thought Wuthering Heights stank, but I've always found myself in the minority on that one.

As I read it, I found myself wondering why nobody just got round to twatting Heathcliffe one in the kisser. He's plainly all mouth and no trousers, and just as plainly asking for it.

I hd to read that book for school once and detested it.
Of course, I also detest Twilight.

Reminds me of the time I was asked for a book recommendation by a woman at an airport who was flying to Peru. I recommended One Hundred Years of Solitude, seeing as Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a favourite author of mine and she was heading off to S America. She hummed and hawed for a minute, then said she'd buy it on the grounds that there was an Oprah's book club sticker on the cover.

I grabbed her by the ears and screamed into her face, spittle and all, that Oprah isn't fit to lick his boots let alone pass judgement on his writing and probably hadn't read it anyway.

Obviously I didn't. But it was a close run thing.

I am fond of Wuthering Heights but more for the writing style, language, etc etc. I think that having to do two essays on it at Uni improved it, it is a book that gets better with analysis.
I haven't read Twilight but the impression I get is of a unhealthy relationship not unlike that between Heathcliff and Cathy. I want to read it to find out if my assumption of Edward being a Byronic hero type is correct. I don't expect to find it romantic as I don't find the Byronic hero type romantic but I am expecting to be pleased from an academic geeky point of view :)

I hated Wuthering Heights. It's all mope and whine and I wished the characters had died sooner rather than later. It was like one long drag thru the mud.

I'm sure the book will sell highly and then people realize just how bad Wuthering Heights is maybe they'll reconsider how bad Twilight really is.
