Wuthering Heights is great. Jane Eyre is pretty forgettable though.

I liked Jane Eyre. I really didn't like Wuthering Heights much.Originally Posted by aggroculture
Spoiler: If Catherine had been honest with Heathcliffe from the get-go or decided to marry him instead, then the whole mess would have been avoided.

Wuthering Heights is what Twilight and its ilk are trying to be and fail at. I think the reason why it works in Wuthering Heights is because the book acknowledges that they're both kind of terrible people who deserve each other, as opposed to painting them as role models of any kind.
I tried reading Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon and gave up; there was a scene that involved someone eating dirty toilet paper or something, and was too nauseous to continue. To be fair I was pregnant at the time and super-sensitive to disgust; might be able to give it another go one of these days. But based on what I've read so far, not sure if Pynchon is brilliant or an overrated, pretentious hack. I guess I really do need to go back and read GR so I can figure that out.
