I had to read it FIVE times throughout my undergrad and grad school years, so I've gone from hate, to appreciation, to apathy. It's funny that I still am not 100% sure how I feel about it! It's one of the few classics that I struggle to explain my thoughts about with my students.<br /><br />As for April goals...just to read more than I have been. :) I'm on a week-long Spring Break, so I hope to get some serious reading time in! Happy Easter to you too. I hope it was a good one.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615570638950821876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-87857983878438871442010-04-04T23:12:50.880-04:002010-04-04T23:12:50.880-04:00I haven't read Wuthering Heights, but I'm ...I haven't read Wuthering Heights, but I'm reading Jane Eyre this week.
