[Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte]

This is the book I wish I had written!! The ties that binds Cathy and Heathcliff are so insane, but strong and everlasting that make me longing a foul kind of love like this! It's obsessive and unhealthy, I agree with some of you.. but love is not always fair. It shows itself in many different ways.. and it may be evil as well.

And, in my opinion, I think the monologue of Cathy about that dream she had of being flung back on the top of Wuthering Heitghs and that she understood that she is Heathcliff it's one of the best in classic literature!

[The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger]

I love this book!!! It is one of my fave! I remember, though, I used to think Holden was too strange to be true: I mean, all this self distruction going on. But now i work with teenagers I truly understand how real was the character of Holden! And I realise how happy my adolescence was!

[Cecelia Ahern Books]

Well, I read PS. I love you a couple of years ago and i quite liked it. I read it in italian, obviously. But last week I bought the original version and it was really different. Not the plot, but the style, the words used.. It's far much better in English! Ahern writes in a very simple way, she doesn't want to teach or something, she just wants to entertain .. and make people sob! Nothing wrong with it, in my opinion!
