My favorite book of all time is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I first read it when I was in 9th grade. I have even taught it as the pics of notes denotes. It's a hard book for some kids now-a-days to understand, but most of whom I taught ended up liking it, once they got the 'hang' of it.

It is indeed difficult for kids these days.It was difficult for me as a ninth grader, but I did grow to love it when it was thrust upon me (that's how I felt!) once again in college.
