Book Crossing

I found a fun site tonight while investigating books: http://www.bookcrossing.com. I have heard about this in the past, a place where books roam around in the wild and you can read/release them (kind of like fishing catch and release). Anyway I decided to do a wild release on one of my favorite books that I have a duplicated of, Wuthering Heights.

The summary that I feel best describes this rich (and only) novel by Emily Brontë comes from: http://www.wuthering-heights.co.uk/summary.htm

Many people, generally those who have never read the book, consider Wuthering Heights to be a straightforward, if intense, love story — Romeo and Juliet on the Yorkshire Moors. But this is a mistake. Really the story is one of revenge. It follows the life of Heathcliff, a mysterious gypsy-like person, from childhood (about seven years old) to his death in his late thirties. Heathcliff rises in his adopted family and then is reduced to the status of a servant, running away when the young woman he loves decides to marry another. He returns later, rich and educated and sets about gaining his revenge on the two families that he believed ruined his life.

Enjoy your Adventures in Reading!
