They’re all over the top, dramatic nuts!<br /><br />Lazy Girl, Oh yes, definitely read Rebecca then! You totally made my day with your comment about the aesthetics of my posts! I’m all obsessive about that kind of thing :P It drives me bonkers that the formatting gets messed up in Google Reader. <br /><br />Alex, If you enjoyed those three then I think you’d love Rebecca. I was so surprised by the book. It is amazing. I want to live in Manderly. :P <br /><br />Danya, Haha, I don’t think we’re the only ones. I didn’t like any of the characters either. They were all so crazy and horrible! Ah, if you’ve seen the film then you know the big surprise with Rebecca, but I think the book was still better (and I really enjoyed the film. The main actress is perfect).<br /><br />Linds, Oh no, definitely not for the faint hearted! It is <i>dramatic</i> for sure. I love that you say the characters will haunt not charm. So, so true. <br /><br />Miss Remmers, Haha, don’t be! I only read most of them recently. <br /><br />Need Tea, I really need to just read Dracula already! I started it and liked it, but it was a little heavy handed with the symbolism for me at the time. I need to get back to it. <br /><br />Bookish Hobbit, well, sure 600 pages is nothing to you, Miss I-Read-1,000-Page-Books-For-Breakfast :P I have a copy of Dracula (an unread copy…) but thank you for the offer! Definitely try giving Austen another chance with Northanger Abbey. It’s different from her other stuff.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-28046744015356223612011-01-27T22:32:59.347-05:002011-01-27T22:32:59.347-05:00I have an extra copy of Dracula if you want it. Va...I have an extra copy of Dracula if you want it. Van Helsing is so my favorite character in that story! I downloaded Northanger Abbey for my eReader over the weekend. I figure that I should give Austen another chance.<br /><br />600 pages? That's nothing! :p <br /><br />Jane Eyre is one of my favorites. But from what I read of Wuthering Heights, I can't say I see the appeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-46603100558471746662011-01-27T21:00:23.717-05:002011-01-27T21:00:23.717-05:00I love Wuthering Heights!

They are horrible people, but I get lost in their story, the way love is trapped by station in life, the vengeance. . . it's not for the faint hearted - it's a hard story with characters who haunt you, not charm.<br /><br />-Linds, <a href="http://bibliophilebrouhaha.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">bibliophile brouhaha</a>bibliophile brouhahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135625757196944536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-47353121243419862622011-01-27T12:37:46.026-05:002011-01-27T12:37:46.026-05:00Yeah, I don't understand why Wuthering Heights...Yeah, I don't understand why Wuthering Heights is hailed as a love story at all. I read it years and years ago and remembering thinking to myself that I hated all of the characters, basically, and couldn't find a single one to root for. I'm glad it made you laugh though! :D<br /><br />I've seen Rebecca as a film but I'm not sure if I actually read the book. The film was pretty creepy though...danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-33819174640770738422011-01-27T11:05:09.624-05:002011-01-27T11:05:09.624-05:00OH!
