Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Published 1847. 464 pages. Kindle Edition

I liked Jane Eyre a lot better. This book was depressing.... Excellent, but depressing.

I'm from Idaho.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, 1938, 441 pages, Print.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, 1890, 76 pages, Print.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, 1959, 182 pages, Print.

The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald, 1872, 241 pages, Print.

Isobel by James Oliver Curwood, 1916, 281 pages, Print.

I'm not sure if Isobel and The Haunting of Hill House count as classics.... but they're there just in case.

Rebecca was fantastic. Besides the haunting story, the language was exquisite! The Haunting of Hill House was great too. The Importance of Being Earnest was just a fun read! Too funny!
I love the simple messages that are in The Princess and the Goblin. It's easy to see how C.S. Lewis was inspired by George MacDonald.
