Anyone who lists those as favorites is lying so they won't be insulted by professors.
Of ALL the books in the world ... find me 10 people who would HONESTLY say that Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre are their favorite books.
Find me 10.
Heck, find me 5.
@thewebrecluse
Wuthering Heights was assigned reading for A.P. English class in high school. I read Jane Eyre around the same time.
They were never my favorite books to read... they were more "experiential"... I was a teenager and visualized myself wrapped in a cape, walking along the moors, calling for "Heathcliff".
I never went back to re-read them... but decades later, there are still times in my life for a few minutes or so... that I have that "wandering the moors" moments again.
@QueenOfEverything Jane Eyre holds a special place in my heart because it was through that FILM (not book) that I began developing my Media Therapy modality when I was a teenager. I didn't read the actual book until much later. It's not a favorite. A favorite to me has to give me something that stays with me and shapes me in a profound way. I barely remember the books I read after reading them but the ones that I do remember, it's because they MOVED me in an unforgettable way.
