I think probably one should not read Wuthering Heights for the first time when one is nearly thirty and happily married and a psychologist.

Because, sweet Jesus, I'm supposed to think that's romantic?

I've been on a 19th century British literature kick, lately. On the one hand, I know what you mean. On the other hand, I find their problems restful because they're so divorced from mine.

In your Bronte class, did you read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall? I liked that one. And I liked Jane Eyre, but I haven't read it since I was a teenager. I'm a bit afraid to re-read it, in case it doesn't age well.

Anne Bronte is the only one of the Bronte family that I can stand. Agnes Grey is pretty good, too, if you haven't read it.
