Hi Luxie, I would think that many members on this site will have read the book even if it was many years ago.

Perhaps you haven't realised that 75% of our members are over the age of 18 years of age with about 60% being over the age of 25 years. This doesn't mean that younger members are not very welcome here (because they are), just that we will have been there, done that and the t-shirt has since worn out! The breakdown of ages can be found here

I believe Wuthering Heights belongs in the worst book ever thread...

I sincerely disliked it, and I am very grateful the author didn't write anything else (she didn't, did she? DID SHE?!).

No. Her sisters each wrote more books (Anne and Charlotte).

I agree with Tanzen, I have read the book many times and think it's wonderful, definitely one of my favourites.

My favourite novel, the one I turn to again and again for comfort. Unique, groundbreaking in it's form. The most amazing thing about this book that is so full of passion and feeling is that it was written by someone who had never been anywhere or done anything. Every last bit comes solely from her imagination. If I ever have a daughter she will be called Catherine after Miss Earnshaw.
