did anyone not like wuthering heights or is it just me?

i read this book in 7th grade

hated every minute of it

i pretty much told my teacher she had no taste in books after she recommended this to me along with Jane Eyre and other euro-centric…

honestly reading jane eyre and wuthering heights made me regret that i ever let on to being a voracious black reader to a bunch of white teachers in magnet school. sheeeittt i woulda been content had they plopped hop on pop in front of my face over jane eyre, at least that has action

ooommmmggggggg i can’t stand jane austen. insufferable. don’t care about any of her characters not one whit.

WILL ALWAYS REBLOG JANE AUSTEN HATE
