AP Reading

I started reading Their Eyes Were Watching God for my summer AP English Reading. I feel terrible but I'm giving up on it; I decided to read another book instead. The reason I'm putting it down is because the dialect used in the book is extremely difficult; think Huck Finn except 10x harder because every character talks like Jim (but worse). I could figure out most of what they were saying but it took me so long to read just one page... I then decided that I want to read a book that I will be truly enjoying and not making myself pick up and read. 

Thus I have decided that I will read Wuthering Heights instead. I can get it for free on my kindle so that's a bonus! :) I have heard many different reviews concerning this story. One person I know absolutely loved the book but I've also heard some pretty negative reviews of the book. I also read an article that said the book either received lots of praise or met much controversy by the public and critics. But nevertheless I think it sounds interesting and I'm excited to start reading it!
