I strongly recommend against reading Wuthering Heights. Or anything by a Bronte sister. Or by Jane Eyre. Crime and Punishment is excellent, and Catch-22 is pretty good to. Haven't read any of the others.

I meant to say Jane Austen. I fail at life.

I managed to answer a question "Emily Bronte by Jane Eyre" once at a tournament--wrong order and wrong author.

I don't know how alike the sisters' writings are, but I really liked Charlotte Bronte's Villette. Different tastes, I guess, but I hope I will like Crime and Punishment and Catch-22 too.
