Rather hilarious, so far, they way melo is having its drama and everyone's so goddamned impetuous.
Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, I guess.

So. Slow. Need to set aside an hour or two and race for the finish, moor or less.

I finished Part I and, for the life of me, don't understand how any reader could care for Heathcliff whether he be hero or anti-hero. In fact, he anticipates Kristi Noem by hanging a dog (and how's THAT for overplaying your characterization hand as an author?).

Been on my TBR this side of forever (which is west of Eden) and it's having a moment thanks to a new movie everyone seems to be hating. Not that I'll watch it anyway. Not much on movies, as a rule.
The opening surliness is appealing, I'll say that. What a bunch of killjoys!

I just bought a copy…arrived today. My wife and I saw the movie that just came out in theaters. We were both a bit disappointed so I felt I needed to read the actual book because I am sure it is better.

Every character is in a constant huff, seems. The good news is that it's not a bear to get through like some big classics can be.
I too found the humour quite surprising
I found this one too melodramatic even in high school, which thrives on melodrama. Never been tempted to reread it, I'm sure I would throw is against the wall.

I remember my second voyage through Moby-Dick and how FUNNY it was at times... something I hardly noticed during the first voyage (which might have had something to do with the fact that I was hanging over the gunwales barfing so much).

Diane wrote: "It was assigned, so was Jane Eyre."Wow. Impressive, I guess. We were reading the turgid "A Tale of Two Cities" vs. a Tale of Two Writing Sisters.
