Read it like you would a storm

The Yorkshire Post takes a trip with the Brontë Bus in Brontë country:

The Keighley Bus Company runs the Brontë Bus (B1, B2, and B3), transporting passengers from Keighley to Haworth as well as a range of other iconic stops. (...)
My mission, however, was to test out the Brontë bus from Keighley Bus Station.
I boarded the single-decker green bus. The buses are modern and comfortable, with free wifi and USB ports, and historical information paying homage to the Brontës is depicted on the interior. The journey offers a gentle yet stunning ride through the moorlands.
Services B1, B2, and B3 all go from Keigley via Haworth.
Haworth is the former home of the Brontës, and from where they posted their first manuscript .
B1: Keighley - Haworth - Stanbury.
If you go the full journey to Stanbury you can witness Top Withens Farm and the landscape which is said to have inspired Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. There’s a scenic nature trail in which you can visit the Brontë Waterfalls.
B2: Keighley - Haworth - Oakworth.
While Oakworth is most famous for its links to The Railway Children, the surrounding areas and views over the Worth Valley are said to have inspired the Brontës.
B3: Keighley - Hebden Bridge via Haworth and Oxenhope.
This bus goes to Oxenhope, the terminus for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. (...)
For me, I went as far as Haworth - in my mind the epitome of Brontë history. The area is a hotspot for literary lovers. Strolling along Main Street, it’s worth stopping by The Old Post Office, a bistro, and dining al fresco around the back overlooking the famous church.

OK, we have an issue here. While we basically agree with everything said in the article, we cannot help but wonder why it is not possible to go directly from Haworth to Thornton with the Brontë Bus lines. Right now, it takes more than an hour and a change of bus to make a route that by car is no more than twenty minutes. This is not a good way, in our opinion, to promote Thornton and the Brontë Birthplace as a tourist destination.

The Nerd Daily has its own Summer Syllabus. Summer book like:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

You were probably assigned it once. You probably skimmed it. Now read it properly, as an adult. Jane is not meek, not bland, not simply a governess in love. She’s a moral force. A woman who knows what she’s worth even when the world doesn’t. (...)´

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Not Charlotte. Emily. For too long this novel has been misread by pop culture as a mere romance. It is not romantic, it’s elemental. Heathcliff is not a brooding hero; he is a curse incarnate. The moors don’t haunt your dreams, they unravel your mind.

Emerald Fennell’s adaptation, slated for a February 13, 2026 release, promises to be provocatively abrasive—bold, visually stylised, and unafraid to court controversy . Yet none of that translates the landscape as Brontë intended: relentless, unforgiving, and vividly alive.

Read Wuthering Heights like you would a storm. Let the narrative’s brutality and its uncanny rhythms overwhelm you. The novel demands immersion—not as entertainment, but as reckoning. (Ginikanwa A. Okoronkwo)

Silvia Moreno-García, author of Mexican Gothic and of an introduction to Wuthering Heights in a recent Penguin edition of the novel, lists her favourite haunted house novels for The New York Times:

The home is supposed to be a cozy, safe space — and when that sanctuary is breached, that’s when the screaming starts. Haunted house stories often involve family secrets and domestic terrors. Sometimes they make us question the reliability of the narrator, as in Henry James’s “The Turn of the Screw,” or they openly accept the existence of the supernatural, like in the “The Exorcist.” Sometimes the evil we perceive in a house can be explained rationally, although this does not necessarily make it any less horrifying. (See: Bertha locked away in an attic in “Jane Eyre.”)

Lifestyle Asia also has a list of the best classic books of all time:

2 /10 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Part gothic thriller, part romance, part feminist manifesto before the term meant anything. Jane Eyre is plain, poor, and stubbornly independent, which makes her one of the most relatable heroines in classic literature. The mystery of Thornfield Hall and the very broody Mr. Rochester (seriously, why are the men in these books so broody?) make this a page-turner. (Kshitij Rawat)

Times Now News recommends 'short' books that are 'better than a Netflix binge':

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

This lyrical prequel to Jane Eyre reimagines the life of Bertha Mason, the so-called "madwoman in the attic". A tale of love, loss, and colonialism, it gives a haunting voice to the silenced. (Simran Sukhnani)

The Times praises the pleasures of human connection:

What is more surprising is that even solitary pleasures, such as reading, appear brighter when shared. There are plenty of characters in literature who seem to prefer books to social obligations — Proust’s Marcel, Sherlock Holmes and Jane Eyre among them. A little company in their libraries might have made them happier still. (Rhys Blakely)

Not sure if Jane Eyre, or any of the Brontës, for that matter, would agree.

Grazia (France) thinks that Wuthering Heights 2026 will be a "relecture sulfureuse" of the novel and the film, the most "sulfureux" film of next year.
