Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather).
The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

I spent 6 month trying to get through this book, it was so boring that it put me off reading for a while. It was a DNF for me and i wouldn’t recommend it

So this book is about a dude who is treated badly as a kid by a rich family and spends his entire life making everyone around him absolutely miserable for as long as he lives... I know a lot of people love this book, and it is a classic so I wanted to knock it off my TBR reading through some classics, but I would probably not ever reread this. It was just not my jam.
