FINISHED!

It is almost time for a new book from that infamous vase on Abby's desk. I'm sure some of you may be relieved that we can move on from this somewhat dreary book. I'm interested in your final thoughts. What do you think about Heathcliff's obsesssion? (His obsessive love for Catherine and his obsession of revenge). Any thoughts about how the class structure? Do we still have class structure today? Does anyone want to come over and watch the movie with me?

On a sidenote-Ross and I have decided that Nelly Dean must have the most amazing memory. I mean honestly-she was able to quote word for word conversations that had taken place years ago. Very impressive.

A quick poll . . .

Who has finished reading our first book? If you have finished-please jot down your thoughts. What did you like? What didn't you like? How can we make our awesome book club better? (Also I admit it--I still have about 65 pages left).

A study in contrasts . . .

Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights also play a strong role in the story that Nellie Dean (and others) are unfolding to Lockwood. What makes these two homes so different? How do these two homes aid in the storytelling process?

The Unreliable Narrator?

This story is "retold" to Lockwood by Nellie Dean. Do you think she is a reliable narrator? Should we be taking what she says at face value?
