obviously a classic - and i obviously think "WOW! no wonder this is a classic" every time i read a classic HOWEVER... truly so incredible in its themes and imagery - betrayal, revenge, nature, god, no god, death, love, passion! i reread it for the first time since i was a teenager and i just cannot believe how powerful and disturbing this book is, i can't even imagine how scandalous it would have been.
one thing i love most about wuthering heights is how married human life is with nature and the environment. animals, plants and the moor landscape are intertwined with the two houses and the families. i loved the constant mention of dogs and birds throughout. so incredible and so wild. can't believe she wrote this and died.

a breathtaking work of experimental modernism, and probably woolf’s greatest masterpiece.
the text follows six children as they stumble through life, grow up, grow apart, and grieve a dead friend. written in a nauseous stream of consciousness that blurs each character into the next in an attempt to break down the walls between the inner world and the world of the other.
the most successful meditation on big existential questions—death, love, grief, and the impossibility (and harrowing importance) of unfiltered connection—i’ve ever encountered.
really hard to describe this one without minimizing it. i recommend reading it in as few sittings as possible to get the full effect.

not just my favourite classic but my favourite book of all time. v diff writing to her other novels, but my fave one. she wrote it for her lover, vita, and it’s a really sweet secret love story (especially good to read for pride!) that’s also genuinely very witty. particularly good to read if you are going through some sort of identity crisis.
and special shoutout to the beautiful antique edition my mum got me for my 18th birthday.
