A Herald Sun columnist is compiling a list of great books for a friend and Wuthering Heights has made it onto it.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Obsessive love. A selfish and annihilating love. Why do so many female readers love that monster who loves only himself in the woman he helps to destroy? Amazing. And the greatest final paragraph of any novel. (Andrew Bolt)
Daily Nation (Kenya) interviews writer Pasomi Mucha, who is also a fan of the novel.
Which are your three most treasured books? Let’s push the bounds of your question and talk about the young me and the older me. I read Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights when I was quite young and it had so major an impact on me that I would converse aloud with Heathcliff, et al – they became imaginary friends. (Marion Maina)
The Clayton County Register features the McGregor Public Library's book club, which has had Jane Eyre as its January read.
“People are still so invested in [Jane Eyre]. She’s a great heroin because she’s an ‘every woman,’” reflected Michelle Pettit.
“It’s almost archetypal,” agreed Liza Ehlers Paizis.
The two are among the handful of people gathered around a table in the McGregor Public Library’s meeting room for the monthly book club. Since this summer, the program has encouraged these spirited, meaningful discussions on some of the most classic novels, such as the January selection, Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre.”
Drowned in sound wonders whether you
remember that kid from high school? You know the one - the guy who tried to rip up his copy of Jane Eyre in class. (Lee Adcock)
Flare discusses how some women feel attracted to serial killer Ted Bundy.
In this worldview, every man is, in a sense, broken, but never irredeemable. In fact, the more broken the man is, the harder it is to transform him, the more admirable the woman who takes on this challenge. Think Rochester in Jane Eyre, whose cruelty—and imprisonment of his first wife in his attic—were seen as mere stumbling blocks on a road to a happy marriage. (Alicia Elliot)
Penn State News features the Secret Lives of Girls and Women exhibition at the Eberly Family Special Collections Library’s Exhibition Gallery and which includes
rare 19th-century book bindings by women, first editions of Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” and other titles written by women using pseudonyms meant to disguise their gender. 
Bustle has selected '13 Bookish Accessories That Rep Your Favorite Female Authors', including a Brontë sisters cushion.
EDIT:
On BBC Radio Leeds, The Richard Stead Breakfast Show talks with Lauren Livesey, Arts/Events Officer at the Brontë Parsonage Museum. (two hours into the show, approx.)
