finished WH. It's quite a creepy book. But throughout I found myself hating pretty much every character apart from Catherine (Jr.) and Hareton, so I was pleased by the ending. Oh and Nelly Dean is a babe I love her.
But yeah, I was expecting a great romance between Catherine (Snr.) and Heathcliff and whilst there's definitely something great and spiritual about it, the haunting element picked up by Kate Bush, the lengths he went to to seek revenge were absurd (I never really saw Edgar or Isabella as that bad) and he wasn't even a part of the family to begin with It's hardly surprising Hindley and Catherine reacted the way they did towards this new favourite of their father's. And both of the Catherines were pathetic messes. And omg I can't even start on Linton Heathcliff.

just started reading An American Psycho - am only about 30 pages in so nothing's really happened yet other than a (far too lengthy) description of fashion

I found the language hard to get into at the start as it's spoken through a 5 year old but it does get good (well I thought anyway)

Reading a book on my heroine from History, the wrongly treated and wrongly executed amazing Mary Queen of Scots.

Can't say I've noticed anything thus far Kerry. Don't think Sheffield was high on her agenda.

Sh!t, just realised you may not know. Dopey cow I am. But after you've read the book I may be able to offer you a few stories. Not much. More titbits really. But as you're interested..... I know I was

Yes, at Sheffield Castle and Sheffield Manor,I am only up to the point of her about to marry the Dauphin of France.
I am fascinated as to her life, and the tragic end it came to,have read many books before and been to lots of places associated with her in Scotland,got this book for my Birthday so am now well into it. Happyland once asked me a question about her and I had to think on it,so wanted a more comprehensive book as to her life. I'd have fought for her, no hesitation. |

No,thanks for your input Kerry, I am glad you are interested in her too, she really was an engaging and fascinating character in History,badly advised but I think she was amazing.

I actually don't know much about her history which is a shame. Just the Sheffield bits and bobs. The castle, well ruins now, fascinate me and all the stuff named for/after her. There was a pub, The Captive Queen but it's sadly no more. But, as rumours go, she was supposed to have been held in that area briefly too. Oh and Queens Tower. Thats rumoured to be haunted by her

The Naked Lunch - Read bits and bats but I seem to lose concentration with it easy. Plus some of it is quite disgusting

Harry Potter: Film Wizardry
It's all about the films and how they were made etc. really loving it, plus it comes with loads of cool Harry Potter stuff like a Hogwarts Letter, Qudditch World Cup Programme and a huge map of Diagon Alley. |

halfway through the Kafka book, just finished Metamorphosis. The whole collection is pretty bleak, but sums up modernity pretty well.
