For February, we will be reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. I remember the first time I became aware of this book was in ninth grade when my best friend read it for a book report. She was so angry at turn of events that she threw the book across the room! This book is filled with characters that we love to hate.
Wuthering Heights was written by Emily Bronte. If you'd like, you can find an short and interesting biography of her here at The Victorian Web. Although she also published a book of poetry with her sisters, Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's only novel. She died at the age of 30 from tuberculosis. However, some of her letters and papers have been published and if you're interested, you can access them here.
I thought our discussion was the best one yet, even though the majority of us expressed a dislike for the book.
