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 :)
