We like how this student describes Wuthering Heights in the
Southtwon Sun-Times Star:
"I like the book 'Wuthering Heights' (by Emily Bronte, Bantam Classics) because it's an unexpected love story full of twists and turns.
"It's also good because the characters that fall in love aren't really likable, only their love is," said Alsip resident Shaili Shah, a student at Shepard High School in Palos Heights.
The
Hindustan Times talks about the
Wordbuffs initiative:
Thus Wordbuffs was born. A community of book lovers who get to swap some of their books without losing those they love the most.
Only about 15 days old, the group already has 100 members and 1,200 books with absolutely no advertising and is growing every day. Each member has to upload at least five books that they’d like to swap and tag them in three different ways — Wuthering Heights, for instance, can be tagged as a Classic, Victorian romance and Tragedy. You can then swap this book with another whose tags match. In this case, with Jane Eyre, perhaps. (Ruchira Hoon)
Psychology Today interviews
Ayaan Hirsi Ali (as a matter of fact it is an interview dated in October 2008 now published unedited):
Who were your female role models?
When we were kids in Kenya, there was literature we had to read: George Orwell, Jane Eyre, Jane Austen. Then there were the fun books kids exchanged. Nancy Drew was one of them. They were my first sense of individualization.
The Times explores the changes in the Hebrides way of living, more or less:
Frankly, the retail synergies could be enormous, with megastore branches of Borders and Waterstone’s stocking bodice-rippers by Emily Bronte alongside three Bibles for the price of two offers[.] (Allan Brown)
