Wuthering Heights | 
I haven't read this one since high school! Let's see what I think of it now 📖
"Having leveled my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.”
This quote could be from Pedagogy of the Oppressed, but it was said by Heathcliff to Cathy.
pickWhilst this isn't usually my favoured genre, I've heard so many people rave about this gothic romance tragedy, so I've always been intrigued. The drama in this book was so woefully written and I enjoyed the tense atmosphere between all the characters. Heathcliff was such an interesting yet dislikeable character, utterly obsessed with Catherine. The direction of the story towards the end wasn't how I would have liked it, but still worth the read!
I have gained the reputation of deliberate heartlessness; how undeserved, I alone can appreciate.
I got this lovely copy of ‘Wuthering Heights‘ and I just cannot wait to start it!
pickI read this novel long time ago. I forgot how terrible Mr Heathcliff was and how dysfunctional, violent, co-dependent these relations were. But thinking about the author, how brave she was to write in a novel about these topics was incredible and she was young. I think I need to re-read it in the future after maybe read more about the author. I will need, of course, another beautiful edition. I read the Thomas Nelson edition. 4⭐️
1801- I have just returned from a visit to my landlord— the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with.

pickFrom now on calling this The Real Housewives of Wuthering Heights. I missed this in school and have always been intimidated by it. WHY? These people are crazy as hell.
“You said I killed you—haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe—I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!“

I know we're on Jane Eyre right now, #PemberLittens, but every time I see this making the rounds on social media, I absolutely screamlaugh. Someone find the woman who wrote this tweet and give her an award. Or, at the very least, some hot applesauce to throw in an enemy's face. #Brontussy
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is one of the best-loved classic novels of all time. But is it a ghost story? Read my article at John C Adams Reviews:

pickBecause I'm an English Lit teacher there are an absurd amount of books I've reread an absurd amount of times, but purely for pleasure I've read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry multiple times. I've also read Wonder by RJ Palacio both in school and at home with my own kids 💛
pickI've read some crazy books, but this was... indescribable. A good book, but damn were those characters horrible and some a bit dumb. Felt exasperated here and there. The things that went on, unpunished.. Kate Bush' song was perfect, it fit so well and gave me some much needed lightness to persevere. They're not pretty, but I do enjoy the Penguin Popular Classics.

“He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee. I said his heaven would be only half alive; and he said mine would be drunk: I said I should fall asleep in his; and he said he could not breathe in mine.”
Remembering Emily Bronte on her birthday.
Wuthering Heights is often discussed within the context of a timeless love story, but the novel also features many of the ghost story's enduring features. The story is told via the popular ghost story wrap-around medium of the faithful old servant.

pickThis is probably one of my favorite classics. The novel was so well-written. I enjoyed all the characters, even Heathcliff surprisingly, but my favorites were Mrs. Dean and Hareton. The relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine was beautiful and yet disastrous. I was so engrossed in wanting to learn everything about Heathcliff, I couldn‘t put the novel down. In some sickly twisted way, I really enjoyed his character. Overall, wonderful read.
so-soI finally read Wuthering Heights and honestly I think some of the movies are better (especially the one with Timothy Dalton). The book was just so dark and Heathcliff so monstrous. I am glad I finally read it though.

1. Yes, I do enjoy moody or emotional books.
2. I consider the tagged book moody and atmospheric. Also Jane Eyre fits this category too.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
⭐️ Do you enjoy books that are moody? For you, what is a moody book? ⭐️
Tagged is the first book that came to mind. Pictured is my old paperback copy. My moody teenage self loved Wuthering Heights. Broody, temperamental, filled with angst and drama.
I still love the Brontës, but the relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy doesn‘t seem quite as romantic to me now as it did then.
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView Thanks for the tag!
1. Yes I do enjoy moody books.
2. Wuthering Heights to me is a moody book. It has the gloom and sullenness that goes along with being moody.

bailedHaven‘t DNF‘d a book in a while. I found this one boring, and all the characters to be just insufferable to read about.
pickI have no words. My love for classical literature has has increased in masses, and I am amazed at what skill there was in the Bronte sisters. I wish I could travel to the past and visit some of the amazing authors which were present during this time. This book sent me on quite the rollercoaster. My love for gothic literature has grown - if even possible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I‘m tired of being enclosed here. I‘m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart: but really with it, and in it.
Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!
#Pemberlittens this showed up in my Google News: Crisis Magazine: Wuthering Heights in a Nutshell.

Some twaddle about how "This happy ending serves as the final judgment on the novel itself, confirming that Emily Brontë, like the indomitable Nelly Dean, is on the side of the angels."
WTF! Wuthering Heights had a happy ending??? I'm off to read one about Pride and Prejudice.
pickVery well written but very bleak, a sense reaching out for the most pessimistic response to anything internal or external within the confines of the book. I can‘t help but think that Emily had a very sordid view on humanity and in life in general. I not sure if I would pick this one back up as I need to be lifted out of the lull this book has shimmed me into. If I had to pick my favorite Brontë sister, Charlotte from what I read thus far.

This last card is the three of swords; betrayal, heartbreak, and isolation. I don't know of any book that better encapsulates those words than Wuthering Heights! That being said, I do love this story - as you could probably tell from my multiple copies! 😃📖❤
pickWuthering Heights is a masterpiece of wretchedness. The book was relatively dark throughout. The few glimmers of hope or happiness were always quickly shattered by impending death or cruelty until the last 2 – 3 chapters. It was written well enough to keep my interest, but I was not sorry to finish this and move on to something lighter. If you like the macabre, you will like Wuthering Heights.
pick"The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!"
I finished this book last night and as soon as I turned the last page, the lights went out and a storm came on with rain. It isn't supposed to rain in March. But, I would like to think that the elements were paying their tribute to the genius of Emily and her love for nature.
I have read this book in @sharread 's honour for the #SharReadathon.?
I have been thoroughly absorbed for the past three days or so in this absolute whirlwind of a book trying to finish it in time for #SharReadathon. Although, I still have a number of pages to go, the experience of reading it has been intense and rewarding. I am determined to finish it in the coming days. All the love and prayers for Sharon! May she rest in peace! 🌺
So grateful to be part of this wonderful community. What better way to honor a bibliophile than to read! I choose this windy, stormy book that @sharread has deemed as a pick. My respects!!
#sharreadreadathon
pickI missed the buddyread but all the talk made me read it again . Wow, what a miserable lot , yes?!
I‘m really late to the party on this. No time for Litsy this week during training. Here‘s my take:
1. First read after many unsuccessful attempts years ago & had really given up ever reading it
2. Mix of all 3
3. No too many others I‘ll like much better
4. Meh to hated
5. Favorite thing: Emily kept it real about repeated family mistakes
7. Not really. Maybe it only is because of her sister.
#Wanderingthroughwutheringheights
pickI can understand why this is a classic. It‘s like nothing I‘ve ever read, but I didn‘t enjoy it. It‘s brilliant, but so dark and the characters are so disappointing. It‘s as though the hate draws out the worst part of each persons character. I‘ve heard it been said this is a love story, but for me it‘s a hate story. I‘m glad the end of the book was a happy ending for the few. Which I wasn‘t expecting because the book usually went the other way.

🎵 And I was catching my breath
Staring out an open window
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore 🎵
#evermore #FearlessFebruary
pickThis was a reread, I loved it the fist time and I still do.I find the writing mesmerising, the scenery amazing and the characters are so well drawn. I think the main reason why so many people hate it is because they are expecting a romance, maybe because the Brontë sisters that are always compared to Jane Austen. It's a novel about toxic people and toxic relationships, if you are interested in unlovable characters, go for this classic.
