Why is Wuthering Heights one of the world's greatest love stories?
I read it about, a year ago, but I don't get how it's considered one of the world's greatest love stories.
Maybe I'll have to reread it or something.
Answer
Again, I dont know about the "greatest love story", but it may well be the "strangest". It is a love story no doubt, but there is hardly any love in the book. Those moments of romance and whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears. They are completely unknown in Bronte's world which is full of anger and spite and revenge and unconditional everlasting love.
The characters are completely unique. Heathcliff is a masterpiece. That, I think, is the most unforgettable part of the book. He stays with you long after you have read the book. So is Catherine Earnshaw. Among them, they spoil the lives of their children too.
Thats just one. Then there is the narration. Bronte employs a very simple yet powerful narration. She chooses to describe from a very neutral yet concerened point of view.
All these and many other reasons (I am no great critic) make WUthering Heights an exceptional book.

Answer
Glory in the Fall: The Greatest Moments in World Series History by Peter Golenbock book is a short, brief, digestible, agreeable history of World Series snapshots. If the "author" - he is really an "assembler" - of the written pieces from baseball's finest authors made a mistake in his preface, so be it. The collection that has been brought together is a wonderful series of narratives on different moments in the World Series from the very earliest to the most recent. Unbenounced to myself, it has become a nice narrative collection to the MLB World Series DVDs that were released several years ago that go from the 1950s to 2008.
