A true classic, yet so hard to read. I've tried at least 3 times before because it is my wife's favorite book, but I always gave it up. I used DailyLit.com again and they sent me a chunk every day and I eventually got through the thing this time. I knew the general story from watching it on Masterpiece Theater with the wife. It's a very gothic book and I can see why so many people like it. It's hard to care for the main characters. They are either insanely mean and spiteful, or plain stupid in their actions. But Heathcliff is an awesome name, so it has that going for it.
