So I'm not the only one. I too decided that perhaps I should read "Wuthering
Heights" to figure out what the hell Kate was singing about. I picked it up
in the summer before my senior year in high school and couldn't put it down.
I may have been the only 16 year old American male to ever have that happen.
An astounding book. It's become my favorite book ever. When my chemistry 
teacher asked everybody in our class that year what the last good book we
read was, nobody would believe that:
 a) I LIKED "Wuthering Heights", and
 b) I read it completely on my own, with no requirement for school.
But I know better. So now maybe I should read "Ulysses?"
