You’ll note there are a few on the list that I’ve not been able to finish. I’ve learned from my younger more idealistic days that life is too short to plough through a novel to the bitter end if you’re really not enjoying it.
Interestingly there are not too many on the list I want to read… and Wuthering Heights I’ve been thinking about lately because I’ve just discovered what the lyrics say…
Heathcliff, its me–cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.
Not, as I have thought since I first heard it all those years ago in 1978…
“It’s me I’m Cathy I’ve come home- oh woe wo-oh oh – not the antidote!”
Where did that come from?
