wuthering heights @ 9:04 PM
i bought the book today. initially, i wanted to buy a copy of Jane Eyre, since the one i had is currently lost, and read it again. anyways, it wasn't there - in the shelve with all the Puffin Classics. they have come up with re-prints of the classic; the cover looks so unfitting that at a glance, i thought it was part of the children's books section. i like the Penguin Classics cover more >_<
so anyways, i wanted to buy The Tale of Two Cities too but just looking at the thickness of the book, it put me off reading. I can put up with French Revolution and all that for a maximum of 500 pages, not beyond. but i'm anticipating wuthering heights and not because i read an excerpt off twilight. haha
i'm a literature noob and highly unaware of all the flowery languages; 2 pages down the book, i wished i had a dictionary with me. sheesh right?! but still, i like the stories. i once read many of them finish and hope to chuck all the nonsensical books aside to take up more serious reading after A's (:
