They Lied
I decided to read something different, something timeless and classic. So I read Wuthering Heights. Mainly because there was a copy of it at the Goodwill. Let me tell you, whoever decided that was a good book must have been drinking heavy. Probably Absinthe. Isn't that supposed to drive you insane or something? I can safely say I didn't like any of the characters. I thought Heathcliff was supposed to be some real romantic catch. He was an ass. And Catherine was an idiot.
The back of the book says: "These are two of the most unforgettable lovers of all time, driven to a tragic fate by wild, intense emotion and strange imagination. Wuthering Heights has been called the most haunting love story in the English language." What a crock of shit. They're unforgettable like the sight of a really bloody accident is unforgettable. I knew before I started it that Catherine dies, and believe me, I was looking forward to it. I wish every character in the book could have died.
