    I love how great lit and Twilight are connected. *sigh* On the bright side, at least more people might read WH now.

    I have no issue with this. These books have been published so many times with so many different covers (I recently saw Jane Austen's books published with moleskine covers, to look as though the reader is the writer). Not wanting to associate "good" literature with "bad" literature is just snobbery.

    This just disgusts me. I've read Twilight and hated it. I read Wuthering Heights and loved it a couple summers ago. I wrote it into a fanfiction I was writing as a book my character was reading, to which many commenters replied (I do not joke), "That's the book from Twilight!"

    It's a shame they've become so inseperable.

    What disgusts me about these new covers is that they are a direct rip-off of the original Little, Brown covers and now Harper has decided to make up for a lack of creativity in their design department by just ripping them off!
