But there's necrophilia! Doesn't that count for something?

Date: 2010-04-15 02:52 am (UTC)I have to recommend a series that sends off WH, JE and a bunch of other literary characters that totally tickles my lit-nerd bone. You guys HAVE to read Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next (http://www.amazon.com/Jasper-Fforde/e/B000APXZAC/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1271299573&sr=1-2-ent) series. How could you not love a series where the Earnshaws and the Lintons have banded together to create a "We hate Heathcliff" support group, and have to attend an anger management class (moderated - with a pistol! - by Ms. Havisham of Great Expectations) where they do nothing but rag on how much they hate Heathcliff and Catherine, AND where Heathcliff gets horribly upset because Rochester won "Most romantic character of the year", breaking Heathcliff's 7 year winning streak? It is hysterical!

I don't think WH is the height of romance because never once have I thought to myself that digging up my husband's dead body would be totes awesome LOL but I do think it's this gorgeous and fucked up picture of obsession and passion and insanity. Yum.
