Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
5.0
I first read this book in eighth grade, and I have re-read it many times since. Many people I know dislike the book, but something about Catherine and Heathcliff reach out to me, and I find it hard to let them go. Their mutual obsession haunts every page and propels the story toward its unavoidable conclusion.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
3.0
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but when I put the book down, I was filled with unexpected disappointment. It was good, don't get me wrong, full of teenage angst and depression. BUT--Holden Caulfield, although suitably cynical and sarcastic, lacked the depth necessary to make him a truly sympathetic protagonist.
