I originally read Wuthering Heights in high school and it has been "the only book I know I hate" whenever I find myself talking about such things. I remembered not liking the characters and finding both generations of Heathcliffs and Catherines unnecessarily dramatic and manipulative.

I had to give up on this one. Classic it may be, but I am unable to stand any of the characters and I don't care about the story. It's time to move on.
