Wuthering Heights

  Great Classic Lit

IRead. DoYou? of Washington, 10/24/2011

Forget the Twilight Series and Edgar! When I was a teen, I thought it was all about Heathcliff's brooding devotion to Catherine even 20 years after her death. With that in mind, I was curious to reread Wuthering Heights now as a middle-aged mom. The verdict? Well, the dysfunction of the whole clan was a lot more uncomfortable for me than it was when I was younger, but overall it really is a great book and I still love it. I will probably not have my own children read it until they are in late high school, but it is one that I will definitely have them read as a classic work of literature.
