i always recommend wuthering heights to people because it’s such a unique book in which none of the characters are even remotely likable and yet….you really can’t wait to see where their bullshit is going to take them next. running away from home? cool. obsessing about revenge for the rest of your life? hey everyone needs a hobby. forcing your kid and the neighbors kid to get married? sounds like a plan. digging up your old lovers grave? why the fuck not at this point. you’re both pissed off yet fascinated. you will be miserable but love every second of it

one of my favorite summaries about this book was given to me by an english major who said “wuthering heights is basically a book about a group of awful people who all made a secret promise to ruin as many lives as possible before they fucked off and died. and by the end heathcliff won with a 50 point lead
