I can't do it. Wuthering Heights is just too boring to do in one week. I'm about exactly halfway, and I've decided to put it down. It will get finished some day, just not this week. All my Harry Potter books came in the mail yesterday, so around 7, I quit Bronte and picked up Year 2. I'm a bit over 100 pages in and will certainly finish by Saturday. This means I haven't broken my resolution yet.
I'm sorry, but those Heights characters just won't shut up! And about the silliest things, too! I honestly can't see why this is such a classic. Sure, there are some shining moments where the wording is just superb, but bleh! The plot is just annoying as can be!
So Harry Potter it is! Be back Saturday with a review of the second book and an udpate on my total pages read for the year. Happy Friday!!

Aw :( I loved Wuthering Heights. We did read it in AP 11, though so it was more fun in a community setting. Potter is also a delight, though lol
ReplyDeleteYa kno.. My Sister just called me asking me if I had ever read that book.. She's in highschool, & they want her to read it.. & she read me a bit.. When its not down right confusing.. its simply irritating. Stick with the HP.. good ones..
ReplyDeletePs - Also try - Stephanie Plum Series
I too am trying to read the "classics". So I am reading Pride and Prejudice. So silly. On and on they talk about the dumbest things. I am going to rent the movie when I get back from CA and see if the book will make more sense.
