I'm planning on asking a girl out and this is her favorite book. Has anyone read this book and could tell me of a way to ask her out that would be in reference to the book?

Thanks for the help, but I don't think that's within the realm of my abilities.

The book is very stormy and quite masculine. I suggest you be fierce and misanthropic.

Heathcliff throws a dog over a gate so that it is hung up by its leash and chokes to death. He also puts netting over a bird's nest so that the mother can't feed the babies, and they end up dying.

Do things like that.

Why don't you read the book and find out?

If it's successful, it will inevitably lead to some discussion of the book, and then you'll tell her you didn't read the book, and then she'll ask where you go the idea to do it, and then you'll tell her you made a thread on 4chan, and then she'll ask if that's the pedophile website, and then you'll say yes, and then she'll never speak to you again.

I'm not sure that's true, i think i could tell her the research going into this and she would think that that is important because i put time and thought into it.

no, she would think you reading the book was cool

she would think you surveying a message board on the internet about the book was depressing and/or creepy

Make her commit some form of sickness suicide after letting an enemy of yours impregnate her, she will most likely die after the child is born. The child should be a girl, wait until it grows up, kidnap it, and treat it like shit until the child's father (your enemy) dies. Then commit suicide.

Or just watch the stupid movie. The book isn't too bad for a romance, I liked it. Pay attention to the window symbolism and the weather during the important parts if you want to impress this girl of yours.
