literary classics, eh?

I'm reading Wuthering Heights.
I want to be cool like those literature nerds who love the classics, sort of like my roomie.
And I thought, Wuthering Heights seems to be a reference in a lot of modern literature.
But I am afraid I might poke myself in the eye first.

So let's see how this goes. Im braving chapter three tonight... but when Emily Bronte says things like, "Aw wonder how yah can faishion to stand thear i' idleness un war, when all on 'ems goan out! Bud yah're a nowt, and it's no use talking- yah'll niver mend o'yer ill ways, but goa raight to t' divil, like yer mother afore ye!"

Um? Can you repeat that? What did you just say Mrs. Bronte?

But nonetheless... I venture on.
