    Out of all the novels I have read out of the 15 years I have spent on this planet, Wuthering Heights is by far my favourite. It's romantic, dramatic, depressing- all the things I love in a book

    Wuthering Heights is a classic not only because it is a fascinating story, cleverly constructed and with characters that you (obviously not you personally) care about, but it was unique at that time, a book with a plot and characters that were not seen in other literature. I have read it many times and written a website about it: I wouldn't have done if it wasn't something special.
    So you wrote that website. Well done!
    According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

    My own sentiments exactly. I would add that the Catherine Earnshaw is an admirable character of superhuman dimensions. She still resonates in my mind, years after reading the book.
