Damn right! being liberal actually meant something back in the day (the only real one left in the media is Bill Mahr) The free speech movement at Berkeley showed us that the only antidote for speech you don't like is adding to the conversation with counter speech you do like, not eliminating everything that offends you.

Wuthering Heights is a great story, mind you it was incredibly hard to like any of the characters, I found it difficult to read in some respects.
I read it during a particularly turbulent time of my life and just concentrating on the text was strangely soothing to me.
I enjoyed Tess of the D'Urbervilles immensely and other favourite are Silas Marner and Precious Bane. -

I think the point is to make the characters hard to like yet relate too. Heathcliffe was such an ass yet you feel sorry for the man. He was an outcast. She was spoiled. My friend made me a mug. Let me figure out how to post it. SO cool!!!!

Same here. Great Expectations is the most compelling literary work I have ever read. Had it not been for that book I would likely have grown up to be almost as stupid and useless as warrenpeace. Truly great stuff.
Relax, faggot. -

They have to be warned that works of classic literature that are era contextual may distress them?
Its the typical left nannying and turning the younger generation into snowflakes so they will be more compliant to their brainwashing techniques.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
