Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

This is another book I've had on my reading list for years and have just finally gotten around to reading.

This was a good book, but at times I had trouble understanding why so many people consider this their favorite. This book wasn't at all what I expected it to be. I did enjoy it, but I think it was too dark for me to consider it a favorite. And Heathcliff was such a hateful character, his only redeeming value was his undying love and devotion to Catherine.

I think I may have to re-read this in a few months before I can really form an opinion on it. Part of the problem is I'm also re-reading Pride and Prejudice right now, which is my favorite novel, and I can't help but compare and contrast the two.
