Catherine is kinda bonkers

The Harvard Gazette has asked several campus readers about the 'Stories that haunt them':

Min Jin Lee
Catherine A. and Mary C. Gellert Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute and author of “Pachinko”
I’m a coward and can get spooked by my shadow, so I avoid stories and any visual media gory or frightening. Not a big fan of Halloween. Life and Washington, D.C., are plenty scary enough. That said, I am very interested in any narrative about a haunting love. I can think of few stories with the kind of obsessive romance that rival Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” — which has a ghost, forbidden desire, pathological love triangles, class and ethnic prejudices, intrigue, rivalries, and some good old-fashioned anguish. Catherine is kinda bonkers, but Heathcliff has the hots for her, and by gosh, he suffers for it. It’s also Emily’s 200th birthday this year, and her single and singular work endures in my heart.

Jane Eyre in Definitely, Maybe
Definitely, Maybe is a wonderful film that follows three stories, about three different women.  Ryan Reynolds’s Will is telling these stories to his daughter at bedtime.  She doesn’t know which one of her dad’s romance stories involves her mother.  One of the stories involves Will and his friendship with April, played by Isla Fisher.  April buys every copy of Jane Eyre she can find as long as it is inscribed.  He father inscribed a copy for her right before his death, but unfortunately, that copy has been lost.  This scenario pays off incredibly well later on and brings such poignancy to an already great romantic comedy.

EasyVoyage has selected a random image of the Yorkshire Dales to show one of the 'real-life places that inspired your favorite novels'.

Yorkshire, England: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Yorkshire really seems to be the ideal destination for a writer's retreat. The northern county can already boast having been an inspiration for both Bram Stoker and Emily Brontë, which could very well be due to its inimitable eerie atmosphere.
It's rumored that the ruins of an old farmhouse at Top Withens near the town of Haworth was the inspiration for the Earnshaw house in Brontë's literary classic. The stern building in the middle of nowhere will definitely plunge readers into the sinister ambience of Wuthering Heights and give you a taste of Heathcliff's despair. (Chloe Meley)

The Indian Express interviews writer Shweta Bachchan-Nanda.

Who have been your literary influences? Jane Austen, Garcia Marquez, Brontë sisters, Dickens… And nothing beats the language and fluid acerbic wit of A A Gill. (Ishita Sengupta)

These people are beautiful literary hermits, dammit, Brontë sisters wandering the wild moors of the inside of your iPhone, seekers of beauty and truth and a shit ton of unearned likes. (Hillary Kelly)
