Currently reading : Wuthering Heights





I started reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë right after I finished Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Brontë). I have no idea why I assumed their writing style would be somewhat similar, maybe because they are sisters and were exposed to the same literature. But it is drastically different. I'm only 5 pages in,  but I can already tell that its not going to be anything like Jane Eyre.

The cover above is a Penguin Classics Deluxe edition, jacket illustration by Ruben Toledo. Get it here.

  1. Wuthering Heights used to be my fav love story, u'll enjoy it for sure :) as for Jane Eyre, now that your done reading it, pick up the novella Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, its like a prequel to Jane Eyre, and you get o read the other side of the story...nice way of seeing things :)
