I'm reading Wuthering Heights to the baby and turns out this is really good? Like I'm barely in and I'm hooked. I feel bad for dismissing Emily because her sister wrote a book that bored me as a kid. - ThreadSky

I read that for my last semester of college, and I really liked it.

No one tell me the story. I don't know the story.

Neil has told me that it's maybe not the best book to read to the baby though.

Whatever makes them smile or sleep is the best book to read to a baby

nah, Baby Cook will have a much more advanced understanding of the human condition by the time you're finished

It has the peculiar distinction of being both very cozy and deeply harrowing. The baby will have a subconscious appreciation for warm hearths and fear of Yorkshire accents

I had the wrong idea about where it took place and absolutely was doing a Glaswegian accent for the first bit 😭

Did read it for the first time years ago and devoured it countless times since. Good choice

What is the question mark after 'good' for?

Truly, one of my favorites!

Wait until you go out, into the wily, windy moors, you’ll roll and fall in green

Truly one of the best "assigned reading" books for secondary school. Really a lot of good things in there.

I'm reading it for the first time too!

After you finish look up Monty Python’s “Wuthering Heights in Semaphore” for a good chuckle.

Wuthering Heights is great. I suspect you'll be on Heathcliffe's side
