"My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath--a source of little visible delight, but necessary."
That's a great picture. I can see it and feel it and know what she's talking about. I find it interesting that she compares her love to Linton to winter. I'm also intrigued how at 15 year old can feel so strongly about love. But I guess things were different back then.
As a side note, I think Catherine is horrible. She's spoiled and just not a nice person. Anyway, we'll see how far I get today. I'm glad something finally started happening because I was getting bored. And that's not a good thing.
And Rach? I'm pretty sure that Moby Dick is on my "Classics List" So I'm REALLY not looking forward to reading it now. LOL. Does the BBC have a good version of MD? LOL. I think I'm going to go for a Jane Austen next time. Then at least I'll know that I'll enjoy the BBC version.

So i read a lot of Jane Austen for AP Eng and liked her stuff a lot. So dont' worry about her. PS-- I didn't see the BBC Pride and Prejudice until I'd been married for about 4 years, so I'm judging based on the book first, though Colin Firth is yummy as Darcy. I've not idea about BBC Mody Dick because I was so disgruntled at the book that I ceased to care about the white whale one whit when I got done. The BBC WH is wonderful-- and dark and all of that. It's on Netflix if you get that. Anyway- good luck and congrats on finishing WH.
