Finished this a few days ago for #wutheringheightsbuddyread

It‘s my third time reading it and I love that in different stages of my life I have different feelings towards it. It‘s still my favourite book but this time round I see Heathcliff in a different (& worse) way ðŸ˜² - and if I had to pick a favourite character it would be Hareton. I love it all though ðŸ’™

(Took this pic on my walk overlooking the North York Moors ðŸ)

StacksNShelves Beautiful cover paired with a beautiful view. Iï¸ haven‘t read this yet, but hoping to soon. 6y

LitLogophile Hmmmm I‘ve read Wuthering Heights twice and it was my first favorite book, but I haven‘t read it for years. Your post has me thinking I should go back to it and see how my opinion has changed ðŸ¤” 6y

youneverarrived @StacksNShelves It was a lush view. It‘s definitely worth the read! 6y

youneverarrived @LitLogophile You should ðŸ˜˜ it‘s interesting seeing how you feel about the same book but at different points in your life. It‘s not often I re-read books but this is one I always will ðŸ’™ 6y

An obvious difference is that Cathy and Hareton both change their opinions of one another over time, and they mature. (somewhat, at least ðŸ˜‚)

llwheeler I agree, Cathy/Hareton seem able to grow, learn, break out of the mold they were forced into (Hareton mostly, since Cathy had prob the best upbringing of any character). Whereas Catherine/Heathcliff seem more to accept the roles they are forced into even though it's self-destructive 6y

youneverarrived I think there‘s more similarities than differences between them but I agree that Cathy & Hareton are more mature etc. 6y

llwheeler Thanks for hosting this buddy read! It was the first one I've participated in on Litsy and pushed me to read a classic I otherwise would have taken years to get to. I really enjoyed both the book and my first buddy read ðŸ˜ðŸ‘ 6y

mrsthilkey @llwheeler I wish I had more profound thoughts ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ I definitely understand why people read this novel over and over. She really fit so much into one book. 6y

llwheeler @mrsthilkey Yeah, same. I can see myself rereading in the future 6y

I did it! I know several of you did it, too! I enjoyed the second half much more than the first and of course now I'm thinking I need to read it again at some point. ðŸ˜„ #wutheringheightsbuddyread

General thoughts?? I think my rating for now is 4 stars, but that could change. I loved the last chapter. Keep an eye out for a couple discussion questions and post some your own! ðŸ¥€ðŸƒðŸ¥€ðŸƒ

llwheeler Overall my general thought is... this book is so much crazier than I was led to believe! ðŸ˜‚ i did really enjoy it though, so much to think about 6y

mrsthilkey Right?! ðŸ¤£ 6y

Ash.on.the.line Definitely crazier than expected. I was surprised it was described as a love story honestly. I didn‘t see a lot of love ðŸ˜…ðŸ˜‚ 6y

The Silmarillion | J.R.R. Tolkien

Finished Wuthering Heights for #wutheringheightsbuddyread! Looking forward to the final discussion this weekend - I really enjoyed this book and I'm glad I finally read it. Now I can focus more attention on #lotrchapteraday... the blue bookmark is where I should be, the white bookmark is where I am. Luckily it's #litsypartyofone this weekend so I should be able to catch up!

Andrea4 Ry and I have been "reading" the Simarillion this whole year... 6y

llwheeler Lol that's why I figured I'll jump on the chapter a day. Good push to keep going with it 6y

mrsthilkey Yaaaaay! I'm finally enjoying it, too. Might finish tomorrow. 6y

This wasn't what I expected but a great story. A book filled with so much hate but described as a love story. I didn't know much about Emily Bronte and apparently neither did others after I read the introduction. I truly wish now she lived to write more and see where her mind was when she wrote WH. A lasting, mysterious story for the time it was written and one I enjoyed!
Read ahead for #WutheringHeightsbuddyread hope to catch final discussion.

mrsthilkey Yes, I can't believe this is a love story. I'm reading it for the first time at age 31 so maybe that matters- I'm just seeing mental illness and abuse. I'm really starting to like it though- hopefully finishing tomorrow. 6y

Ash.on.the.line @mrsthilkey Yes, mental illness and abuse were what I was seeing as well. I enjoyed it but still question the love story! Glad you‘re enjoying too! 6y

This post contains spoilers

This week's discussion is on revenge/love. Heathcliff's relationship with Hareton seems especially appropriate - I think Heathcliff loves him best aside from Cathy, and equally unhealthily. A twisted fatherly love/pride, "this is what I have created." In revenging himself on Hindley, he created Hareton, but sees enough of himself in Hareton that he becomes fond of him. So messed up, but fascinating

mrsthilkey Ugh all of Heathcliff's relationships are unhealthy. Did he ever even stand a chance though... 6y

llwheeler @mrsthilkey I really don't think he ever did... 6y

Wasn't able to read at all yesterday (gasp!) so tea, cinnamon scone, and more catching up on #wutheringheightsbuddyread on this very autumn day. Chilly, grey, more than half the leaves are fallen, beautiful and perfect for reading.

First sign of the weather turning cooler, the cats sleep closer together again. Means I have two sleepy reading buddies with me tonight, as I try and catch up on #wutheringheightsbuddyread #catsoflitsy

CatLass007 Looking cozy! 7y

mrsmarch My dog would sleep on the bed for the whole night Oct-Apr and Apr-Oct she‘d defect around 1 am because king bed + 2 people + 1 hella furry dog = too hot to live. ðŸ˜‚ 6y

I had such a busy weekend so no time to read. I decided to get up early and read outside.
Fun fact: I live across from an old abandoned school. (Sounds scarier than it is lol) sunny this morning but now it's rainy.
Catching up on #WutheringHeightsbuddyread
