From my little brother's high school reading list:

"Set amid the wild yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's only novel and one of the pinnacles of 19th century literature. It's the story of Heathcliff, an orphan who falls in love with a girl above his class, loses her, and devotes the rest of his life to wreaking revenge on her family. As all TWILIGHT fans know, Bronte's Wuthering Heights is BELLA AND EDWARD'S FAVORITE BOOK!"

It's funny because Wuthering Heights isn't a fucking love story.

Sounds like marketing did its job.

I'm willing to bet that twice as many students actually get excited and read that book than usually would.

A female author purposely puts product placement (holy shit 4 P alliteration ftw) of another female author's work in her book. Why the fuck would Bella and Edward both like this book? Because Meyer is a Mormon cunt.

A feminist mormon cunt at that

For a misogynist any woman who isn't a slave or dead is a feminist.

Real feminists are feminazis.

w/e, it's better than having mom singing "HEATHCLIFFEEEE, IT'S MEEEEEE, I'M CATHYEEEEEEE, I'VE COME HOME" (or whatever she thought the lyrics were) while I was reading it.

This. If I were a high school teacher trying to get kids to read Wuthering Heights, I'd need to employ some desperate measures too.
