Hey /lit/, I tried reading Wuthering Heights, but couldn't finish it. I reached ~page 130, but found it just got boring. So, should I continue?
>>
OP here, should probably say that I finished about a quarter of it rather than how many pages I read.

Read this first so you realise why it's so important: http://www.counter-currents.com/2011/03/on-wuthering-heights/

If you don't understand why Wuthering Heights is good, then there isn't really much hope for you, anon.

The characters are some of the best literature has to offer; and with masterful prose, finding the book boring is extremely plebeian.

Don't bother, the song is better.

I unfortunately only reached the point in which Cathy went to the Linton's, so I suppose I really couldn't get a firm grasp on the book's characters. Perhaps I didn't give it much of a chance. In all honesty, I wanted to continue, but I had to return it to the Library; maybe I should check it out and finish it.

The themes and tropes are brilliant and the characters are as original as they come. I don't think anyone can deny it's uniqueness among Victorian fiction. Finishing it was extremely satisfying. It's a shame it was E.Bronte's only novel.

I suggest you give up literature. I don't mean to be mean, but if you can't appreciate what is generally considered one of the greatest works of literature in the English language then maybe reading isn't for you.
>>
>>8347391
That, in all honesty, is more than enough time to get a firm grasp on the book's characters.

I would highly suggest that you buy a copy of the book and start over from the beginning. Not doing so would be a huge disservice to yourself; if you really care about literature, that is.

I named my fat orange cat after Heathcliff. He's a bro. Pic related.

OP here, you have convinced me to give the book a second chance. I shall read it once more as soon as I finish th book which I am currently reading.

Your clairvoyance is stunning.

Real OP here. I'm not convinced yet. Idk who that other guy is.

>>8347540
HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS
>>
>>8347540
Then you obviously have no respect for any work of literature in any language due to the sole fact that you were displeased with one novel.
>>
>>8347540
Read it and like it or you will be executed by a barrage of bullets

I'm OP not whoever that was.
