2cents Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I loved Wuthering Heights! Now Moby Dick's a different story...I'd go for the red hot pokers in my eyes rather than read that ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyOR Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I read it for the first time a few years ago. I loved to hate it. I couldn't put it down - it was like watching a horrible accident and not being able to tear your eyes away. I hated both Heathcliff and Catherine. I couldn't find one quality about either that I liked while I read it. Same here. I was amazed at how wickedness was communicated without the blood, gore, and profanity that our modern books rely on. I recently read The Picture of Dorian Gray. Now there's a book worth hating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnian Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Wuthering Heights was the book that inspired me to adopt a reading-for-enjoyment escape clause: guilt-free abandonment of books that turn out to be the antithesis of enjoyment. I just couldn't bear to keep company with miserably selfish Heathcliff and Cathy from cover to punishing cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Not my favorite either. I love Picture of Dorian Grey. (I mean yes it's horrible, but so well written!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
