Isa, September 15th, as you say? I can't assure I finish it in English, but I can try :lol: At least, we can comment in English (or in both threads) :D

Are you going to read Wuthering Heights in English? I agree that looks quite difficult to read, even in Spanish. :cunao: I read it 6 or 7 years ago and I really liked it but I don't feel like I could understand it at all if I had to read it in English. Maybe another time I can join to an English MC, it sounds really interesting. :D

I haven't read Wuthering Heigts, but it's the kind of book you are asked to work on when you study subjects related to English narrative, so it can become an overwhelming task to face its reading. In my view, it's important to know the plot so as to prevent you find several difficulties. By the way, be patient when choosing a book that isn't written in your mother tongue. The beginning may be hard, but you get used to the book page after page.

15th of September sounds fine.
We can do this: we try to read it in English but, if we find it hard to understand, we change to Spanish but we comment it in English, so that we practice the writing and help each other's with our mistakes?

And, just to remember in case someone wants to join, Pink and I are gonna do a MC on "The girl on the train" this month. On the 17th :wink:

I have already read the Sherlock Holmes Stories... :wink:

I think that Sherlock Holmes is the cleverest detective in the world, more or less!. His capacity of deduction is very incredible and he gets to explain the unusual cases of murders. For example, in the case of The Speckled Band, the solution of the investigation is amazing!

I invite you to read this book of mystery. It's fascinating!!

See you :hola:

Hello Everybody! :luxhello: I wonder, Why I haven't discovered this thread until now? :icon_no_tenteras:

Lizzy, I also try to read Wuthering Heights in English but for me it was more complicated than Jane Austen books, I could understand it but it tooked me a lot of time. So, I read in Spanish and finished it :D

September the 15th would be perfect for me :lista: . Now that I have already finish the Spanish version, it would be great to read it in English!

It´s a thriller, a murdered, a mysterious novel. It is said that is the book of the summer but we know what happens with betsellers, so I don't know. At least it seems entertained and easy reading
