  3. I completely agree with you. I only liked Jane Eyre in parts.Somehow it lacked the spontaneity and intensity of WH. It is stupendous the way Emily Bronte has created the atmosphere of the novel and the two gigantic characters.The novel ranks with the powerful storm scenes of King Lear while the narrator Nellie Dean's voice sounds poetic and delicate. Surely there's certain art in Wuthering Heights that does not meet the common eye!
  4. My favorites are: Mumu by Ivan Turgenev Yvette by Guy de Maupassant Open Boat by Stephen Crane
  5. I think it is not the reputation.It is a great novel, but it doesn't stand rereading. Everything is predictable and there is nothing to gain in a second reading. The Idiot , to me ,is a very interesting novel --- and after three readings too it's very fresh. The Brothers Karamazov is a great novel --- the greatest in world literature for its sheer thematic grandeur.
  6. Great Expectations Pickwick papers David copperfield
