Most of us have read Wuthering Heights either in High School or in a College literature class. Written by Emily Bronte, this book is a classic and remains one of the best love stories ever told.
This love epic spans generations; and is often haunting, yet inspiring at the same time. A man's love so strong that he ruins everything and anyone around him that had a hand in separating them. A love so strong that even death does not break its bonds.
A few movies have been made from this amazing novel; yet none capture the magic. The one that comes the closest is the version created in 1939; even then literally half of the book is left out. I believe it is almost impossible to capture the passion and rage this book holds.
I give this two thumbs up, as it is on my list of top three best novels. I've actually read this book three times, and haven't gotten tired of it. The love between HeathCliff and Catherine eminates from each page.

Memorable quotes from the book:
"You said I killed you - haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!" -- Catherine
"You teach me how cruel you've been - cruel and false. Why do you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes, you may kiss me, and cry, and wring out my kisses and tears; they'll blight you - they'll darn you. You loved me--then what right had you to leave me? What right--answer me--for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery, and degradation and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart--you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine" - Heathcliff
"I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am" - Catherine
