How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. -Anne Frank

Heathcliff is no Edward Cullen.

I finished Wuthering Heights last week. Not sure what exactly possessed me to read it. I found myself constantly (till the end) referring to the family tree provided in the extra pages of the 'special barnes and nobles classic edition' to make sure i understood which Catherine they were referring to, who in the world was speaking, when they were referring to them by their last name/first name/ combination of both, and how the characters were related (...are they cousins or lovers? oh wait, both!).

For some reason I had the impression it was going to be a love story- more specifically a sappy happy love story. I think i thought that because the copy i have looks like my copy of Pride and Prejudice.

Do not be fooled. They are nothing alike.

Regardless, it was good in it's own gloomy mid 1800s sort of way.

I need a break.

Today I'm halfway done with the first Twilight.

    Twilight is a raunchy romance novel. I hope you get yourself a copy.
