Sure they're GOOD, as books go, but are they "let's put this on the syllabus for the next two hundred years and never look back" good? Probably not. Here are our top 5 most overrated classic novels of all time (Mark Twain, we apologize in advance). READ MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SITE Acclaimed author Emily Brontë turns 204 on July 30th, and we'd like to thank her for not only creating the literary masterpiece Wuthering Heights, but also giving us a walking, talking relationship red flag in the form of Heathcliff. He is 10% romantic hero, 90% toxic ex-boyfriend, and 100% the type of guy we now know to avoid on dating apps! You can read Wuthering Heights for free right here on SparkNotes, and then learn everything you ever wanted to know about the novel's most important characters, most famous quotes, and much more in our Wuthering Heights Study Guide.   EXPLORE TWEET OF THE WEEK Copyright © 2022 SparkNotes, all rights reserved.
