I read "Wuthering Heights" once, some time ago. I remember liking it. This very week, I tried re-reading it. One chapter in, I had to put the book down and consult Wikipedia to find out when the story began. Three-chapter prologue? "No, thanks," said my attention span. It really is a soap opera, but I'm inclined to say that it wasn't intended to read like one when it was written?
