Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights is the only other book of the list that I already own so its up next! I'm excited about this one because I've heard good things about it from my co-workers. I've tried to read it before but had a difficult time because I had to keep flipping back to the Explanatory Notes to make sense of what I was reading. This time I'm going to use a little more patience and hopefully end up enjoying it.

'Wuthering Heights was hewn in a wild workshop, with simple tools, out of homely materials', wrote Charlotte Bronte in her preface to the second edition of her sister's book, two years after Emily's death in 1848. Unlike Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights had had a discouraging start. First published in 1847, and set amongst the wild Yorkshire moors, with the vindictive, passionate character of Heathcliff dominating the story, the book must have appeared rough and strange. But the power of the communication between Heathcliff and Catherine, set alongside the weaker characters - the civilized but passionless wise, down-to-earth housekeeper who witnessed the tragic events, soon made Wuthering Heights on the the most popular of all English novels. 

So the back of the book doesn't give much away so I guess I'll just have to dive right in!
