Blue sky, green trees

Every character is horribly selfish and cruel, and I found the whole book extremely irritating. The only reason I stuck it out was because my coworkers love it and I wanted to try to love it for their sakes.

****UPDATE**

Saw this article and it perfectly captures the essence of Wuthering Heights. Specifically, it's the first paragraph which is perfection, and I'll copy it here in case the link ever dies:

“Wuthering Heights is the story of a group of people who eat the most miserable meals imaginable, and cannot experience love as a result. Sometimes they have tea, but more often they are merely offered it, and decide they are too furious to have tea, and die instead. Here is every meal the characters of Wuthering Heights almost eat before being interrupted by sex-rage and dying.” -Mallory Ortberg, The Toast

I'm absolutely blown away. Fantastic fantastic fantastic.

Given that it's only January this feels a little wild to say, but I think this is a contender for the best book I read this year.

Nothing happens in this book. It is 80% descriptions of Earth's landscape as seen from near space, which seems to really rev the motors of a lot of readers but didn't do anything for me at all.

I liked it but I'm glad that it's over.
