I know why, because she's both "obtainable" & has similar tastes. No wonder you guys are such ronery losers if you find people attractive because of their tastes. Because the fact is she's kinda fat & her drawings & jokes suck.

She's got a nice face imo though, which none of you seem to note.

I'm not a chubby chaser, but some fat chicks are still cute in the face, meaning they would be hot if they hit a treadmill. Think of them as a 'project.'

The only amazing Bronte stories are Wuthering Heights & Jane Eyre. You're just trying to be different by liking Anne who was shit.

Who? Heathcliff is not portrayed that way anyway. Is your knowledge of Wuthering Heights based on Beatons shitty comics?

nah, I had to read it back when I was in middle school, like 10 or 15 years ago or so, and I fucking hated it.

Granted, I was way more into magical realism at the time, and a boring romance like Wuthering Heights was of course going to fall short, but that doesn't mean it's not boring anyway.

And if you think Heathcliff wasn't presented that way... hell, how the fuck do you think he was presented?

You're going to tell me, in all the mass of English literature Wuthering Heights stands atop? Not even in the convoluted mess of Victorian literature does it come close to being the best. If it's you're personal favorite, I'll accept that, but saying that by it's literary merit is rises above the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, Thackeray, Joyce, Orwell, Hardy--hell, even Austin--I must simply say no.

Hurf derf. Contentional Victorian melodrama is soooooo high culture.

For female tragic heroes, you're going to tell me that Tess Durbeyfield ranks below any of the nonsense characters from the mutual masturbation session the Brontes cocked out?

I never said anything Anne wrote was the high point of English prose. I prefer her stories to the other two (which is simply my personal opinion), but as far as how high I put her compared to other non-Bronte writers, she's pretty low. And Orwell, while again not the best writer in history, wrote some pretty amazing things. Still, throwing him out of it, you'd still have to convince me Wuthering Heights is better than all the rest of English lit, which I'd never believe.

I will concede that comparing Dickens to any of the Bronte's works seems wrong as they're so far apart in style, it's like apples and oranges; but Bleak House alone could crush anything they produced. . .
