Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Like most females, I am obsessed with Wuthering Heights. I have never read a book so violently passionate. I remember reading certain parts over dozens of times just completely blown away by it. I have read many essays on it and while most critics believe the relationship between the first Cathy and Heathcliff is not meant to be an example of a great love story, rather obsession and selfishness, I still am swept away by it.
