The Telegraph asks Joan Bakewell to pick her five desert-island books. Her last choice gives her away as a Brontëite.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë: "It remains the most brilliantly, sensationally well-constructed thing. Of course, it was the absurd over-the-top passion that appealed to me when I first read it, though."
We believe that happens to everyone who reads it :)

Another desert-island books - for BrontëBlog anyway - is Jane Eyre, which is reviewed in Italian by apro il mio cuore. Incidentally, Gewoon Mirelle posts a brief, informative comment in Dutch on Jane Eyre 2006, which is currently being broadcast in the Netherlands.

Fuzzy Logic posts a few pictures of West Yorkshire, which include a couple taken in Haworth.

And finally The Villager reviews The Mystery of Irma Vep, which is on stage at Urban Stages through July 15. The review reminds us - as usual - of its Wuthering Heights influence.

If you're curious about it, this play is also on stage in Tampa, Florida, as we reported yesterday.
