Breathtaking
+ Simply the Greatest Novel Ever Written
It has been a while since I read a book in one sitting. It has also been a while since I first read "The Great Gatsby". Since then, I read articles and saw movies about F. Scott Fotzgerald and his wife Zelda. It is hard not to draw some similarities between Fitzgerald's best work and the way his ...

Gilead: A Novel292 reviews
Marilynne Robinson
Picador, 2006

Wuthering Heights (Bantam Classics)497 reviews
Emily Brontė
Bantam Classics, 1983
very intense
+ Love doesn't always make us happy.
The outdated writing style takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it's good. It's incredible to me how the author, with her unusually limited experience of the outside world, who probably never had a boyfriend or lover in her life and lived a secluded life in a remote part of Yorkshire ...
