I read it on a the recommendation of a friend who couldn't put it down...I couldn't either! I think it would make a great book to read with teenagers to discuss worldview in books, because it's fairly easy to see what the author's view is and why she wrote the book. @Talia: Me too!

I think we're ALL guilty of thinking we've got everything figured out, forgetting that even with God's help and a lifetime of learning, we know only the tippest top of the iceberg of divine truth. @Vicki: I’m middle of the road, too, but I don’t think that that is what Calvin was talking about, given that it wasn’t his main thrust in writing in general (though I have no idea the original context of the quote, I only know the context of how Challies used it).

God has allowed us to get to know Him. I know Calvin is into the depravity of man, but whether ideas are placed in our heads or we think them ourselves, some of them have to let us know God to a certain degree. I'm imagining he's speaking against Arminianism in this quote, which is probably why I disagree. I'm a middle-of-the-roader on that debate :) I don’t totally agree with the Calvin quote.

Now, on a second read of each, I like Jane Eyre better! @Melissa: When I originally read those two books, I preferred Wuthering Heights. Now, on a second read of each, I like Jane Eyre better!

But I can never decide whom I favor most: Both Jane Eyre & Wuthering Heights are personal favorites, you see. PS: Please don't forget to join our Sunday Funnies with a visit to Sx3 today!

It's much better than I remember! Funny, back then I liked Wuthering Heights better, but now I think Charlotte has a leg up on Emily. @Dan: That's funny...even though I haven't a clue what they were saying! @Valentine: I read the book back in high school, and only remembered the bare bones of the plot.
