  • Wuthering Heights is what I would call a very difficult book, a personal enigma. I cannot read this book without feeling or suspecting that I am really missing something.
  • Thanks for these helpful suggestions. I am naturally a fast reader, so slowing down and really taking in the scenery or even camping with a passage makes such good sense to me. I always look at a table of contents, but I don’t read it carefully. Your map analogy is great.

    I always used to read a lot of criticism for college-level books. We had to read 5 books a week sometimes and the criticism helped; George Orwell, Joseph Conrad, Rhe Sisters Brontë; college really hammers your mind. 😆
  • Would you recommend a good dictionary? I know that sounds weird, but I have several and many words are not even in them. I really like dictionaries. But, the more I read important material, I find myself depending on the internet.
