Yes, it's one of my favorites also. I've read it several times and it just gets better with each reading. I love the intensity of the characters and they were so real to me. An eternal love story that I'll always treasure as one of the best.

I loved this book. The characters, how i could analyze them right down to their names. Its so much more than just a bunch of raving crazy people, there are reasons for their actions and mindsets and themes. I really enjoyed this book because i found that it had several layers i could dissect.

I have never read such a daft book in my life - its wonderful - picture that opening scene when our humble narrator knocks on the door of the farmhouse on the moor, its cold, snowing, and he is greeted by a snarling madman with snarling dogs - and it just goes on like that - people snarl and hurl pots and pans and are horrible to each other - I can't take it seriously - however in tribute to Emily Bronte who apparently owned a huge black dog (check out collar at Haworth) I did name my daughter Emily (Emiline Pankhurst had an influence too) apparently Emily B may have been anorexic or something - what a girl what an imagination what must life have been like up on the moors 'grim up north'

I love the wildness of this narrative. A friend of mine complained that the (supposedly necrophilic) graveyard scene was 'over too fast' and hyped, but I can't really blame an author or book for retrospective emphasis.

Though the narrative itself seems quite feral, Bronte also displays a keen knowledge of legality and parallel storyline construction - as is visible in the hinged plot and the complex family tree.

And Heathcliff is in it.
