'Emily is my favorite Brontë'

Jane Eyre is one of '10 Books Every Feminist Should Read' according to Society19.

Jane Eyre-Charlotte Brontë
From becoming a governess despite her circumstances, to the struggles that she faced during the early stages of her career, Jane Eyre is an inspiring woman that everyone should get to know. (Julita Stefaniak)

Fine Books Magazine interviews Annie Rowlenson, a bookseller in Chesham, England.

What do you personally collect? I’ve collected editions of Wuthering Heights since doing my undergrad thesis.  It’s very much in the same vein as the Jane Eyre collection at the Rare Book School--i.e., it aims to show how materiality affects and effects the meaning of a text over time.  I buy everything from early editions and translations to more recent stage adaptations, pocket editions issued to soldiers in WWII, erotic spin-offs (‘Wuthering Nights’, anyone?), and everything in between.  I like the messiness of it; there’s something really satisfying about seeing a ratty Harlequin-esque paperback from the 80’s on the same shelf as one finely bound in morocco.  Each one has something different to say.

Wired features Fei-Fei Li, director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab and the Stanford Vision Lab, and another fan of Wuthering Heights.

Fei-Fei Li grew up in Chengdu, an industrial city in southern China. She was a lonely, brainy kid, as well as an avid reader. Her family was always a bit unusual: In a culture that didn’t prize pets, her father brought her a puppy. Her mother, who had come from an intellectual family, encouraged her to read Jane Eyre. (“Emily is my favorite Brontë,” Li says. “Wuthering Heights.”) (Jessi Hempel)

Coincidentally, Global Times (China) comments on how it's relatively easy to find English-language classics in Beijing as opposed to contemporary foreign-language books.

Despite Beijing being a large metropolis, it is not as easy to find books in English. Most local bookstores only have classic English literature like Charlotte Brontë and Mark Twain. (Lisa Linssen)

MXDWN reviews Jimmy Urine's first solo album, Euringer, which includes his own version of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.

On “Wuthering Heights” Jimmy tries his best Tiny Tim impression, and this high register singing sounds more awkward than interesting. The treble-heavy synth arpeggios don’t mesh well with the treble-heavy vocals, leaving much of the track unbalanced. (Joseph Shigematsu)
