Need a break or a bit of inspiration during this holiday shopping season? Drop by the new Grace Place Tea House & Gift Boutique at Pine and Butte Streets in downtown Redding.
Enjoy a homemade cinnamon roll, slice of cheesecake, a cup of Peet's coffee or a pot of freshly brewed loose-leaf tea in a unique (for Redding) venue.
Grace Place is across Butte Street from the old Greyhound bus depot, inside a late 19th century residence that housed Thompsons' clothing store from 1999 until it closed in 2006. It may be the oldest house still standing in Redding, says Jay Thompson, haberdasher-turned-historian.
The vibe inside is good – light, airy, welcoming.
Grace Place, which opened in October, grew out of Redding native Joanne McCarley's Compass Shining Care, a nonprofit focusing on issues facing seniors. "The building has so much personality," McCarley says of the old Thompson house.
McCarley and Compass staffers Becky Evans and Karen Magdalene run the tea house and gift boutique. The latter features donated jewelry, cards, books, artwork and other items made by north state residents.
They're assembling holiday gift baskets featuring teas and Peet's coffee.
Evans crafts the pastries, including the cinnamon rolls, which she bakes every Friday and delivers to local businesses ($8 for a box). "Quite a few people are addicted to the cinnamon rolls," McCarley said.
In the simple kitchen Evans also turns out daily specials like soups, beef stew and other "comfort food."
On a recent visit late one afternoon I enjoyed a pot of Red Mellow Bush Rooibos loose-leaf tea (a hard-to-find caffeine-free tea from Africa known for its healthful properties) and thumbed through one of the books on sale in the boutique – an entertaining World War II memoir written by 91-year-old John "Jack" Humphrey, who happens to be McCarley's father and a former English teacher at Nova High School.
"I hope people think of this as a fun and unique place," said McCarley. It surely is that. Here's wishing her new venture great success.

- Filed Under
As a city that prides itself on being young and hip, Austin didn't seem to notice that its residents were aging.
That is, until a report by the Brookings Institution pointed out that the city's metro area has the nation's fastest-growing percentage of "pre-seniors," ages 55 to 64, with a 110 percent increase from 2000 to 2010. Among those 65-plus, Austin is the second-fastest growing, after Raleigh-Cary, N.C.
"Being a creative community, we're going to work to find creative solutions," said Bobbie Barker, 61, co-chair of a task force charged with getting the city up to speed. ...

Mosques and islamic sites, Alexandria
20 Reviews
20 Reviews
The The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque was originally built by algerians in the 1775, it was built over the tomb of the thirteenth century Murcia Andalusan saint.
but since then it has been renovated many times, last renovation dates back to 1943.
Women cannot visit inside the Mosque but can view the mausoleum and see the mosque from behind a barrer, for my personal experience I can say this rule is not so strictly observed.
Alexandria may be famous for its Greek and Roman heritage, but the city has long been a place of Muslim culture and tradition. The vast majority of the city's residents are Muslims and the awqaf is quite influential here, with more than a few projects to build large mosques in various parts of the city. Egyptian Islamic architecture is quite interesting, and differs from what can be seen in Turkey, the Persian Gulf, the Magreb and the sub-Continent. Egyptians were very close to their Arab brothers in the Levant, and the influence of Syrian architectural styles can be seen very clearly in the tall, thin but rounded minarets, and the intricate patterns of that adorn the buildings. Visitors are generally welcome inside mosques, but it is important to remember to be respectful of Islamic tradition. Women should cover themselves completely with a cloak, and men should wear pants and at least a t-shirt.
I'm not sure that the Sidi Bishr Mosque is terribly historical or of any great importance, but it is a structure that is quite imposing as you go along the Corniche. Sidi Bishr is the largest neighbourhood in the city and was established as a summering area for the wealthy prior to the 1952 Revolution. This particular mosque is a massive structure adorned with various religious verses on its exterior. In the small parkette out front, there is an interesting small gazebo with a fountain.
A prominent landmark on the Corniche about halfway between the downtown area and the fortress of Quait Bey, the present structure was built in 1938 to designs by an Italian architect. To me it has an air of romantic faux-orientalism that reminds me irresistibly of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton
Very historic and a beautiful mosque. This Andalusian-style mosque is the largest in the city situated in Al-Anfushi on Mosque Square overlooking the eastern harbour. It has four domes and a very tall minaret.
Facts about the mosque;
- Founded 1307; rebuilt many times; present building dates from 1775; substantially renovated 1943
- Area: 3,000 sq m; outer walls: 23 m high; ceilings: 17.2 m high; minaret: 73 m high; minbar: 6.35 m high
- Woman cannot visit the mosque itself, but can visit the mausolem and view the interior of the mosque from behind a barrier.
This lace-like mosque is the biggest and probably the most wonderful in Alexandria, if not in the whole Egypt. Just take a few moments to admire its many details!
The mosque was originally built in 1775, and dedicated to the Andalusian saint Ahmed Abu al-Abbas. Thus the name. In 1943 the four domes and a minaret were added.
Inside the mosque there is a colonnade and eight granite columns.
Tourists can visit most of the mosques in Alexandria, but they should dress modestly and women must cover their heads with a headscarf. As for the mosque of Mursi Abul Abbas, women can only visit one of its side rooms. Remember to leave your shoes at the entry (you'll get a piece of paper with a number) and collect them on your way out by making a donation (usually 1 Egyptian pound).
Abu El Abbas El Mursi is considered one of the most important historic mosques in Alexandria and Egypt as well. It was constructed in 1775 by Algerians, over the tomb of the thirteenth century Murcia Andalusan saint, Ahmed Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi (Abu'l 'Abbas).
The cream-colored Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque stands 23 m high and dressed in artificial stone, with a minaret on the southern side rising to 73 m.
It is situated on Midan el Masaged (Mosque Square) near the shore of the eastern harbor. The minaret has an Ayoubids design, with four sections of different shapes. The mosque has an entrance on the north and one on the east, both of which overlook the square. The main part of the mosque is an octagon, with internal walls are dressed in artificial stone.
Woman cannot visit the mosque itself, but can visit the mausolem and view the interior of the mosque from behind a barrier.
The white colour of the Mosque of Abu Abbas al-Mursi looks beautiful against the blue sky. It is situated in the area Anfushi, in the middle of the square, not too far from the Cornish. It is absolutely worth taking a closer look at the mosque. The mosque was built in the 1940s, but before there had been a mosque there since the 13th century.
If you walk along the Corniche towards Fort Qaitbey, you can't miss the huge mosque of El Attareen. It lies in an impressive square full of palm trees, and is one of the more beautiful buildings in downtown Alexandria. I would have gone in, but my travel companion told me it was coffee and chicha time. Around the mosque are several narrow lanes forming the old quarters of Alexandria. Unfortunately, there is not much left, in comparison with Cairo or other Egyptian cities, but you can come across an overhanging Ottoman house or a quiet backstreet cafe if you are determined. The souqs also begin near here...a very good area to get lost in.
You are welcome to go inside the Mosque and have a look around. The decor is quite ornate, especially the interior of the main dome of the Mosque.
Just check your shoes at the front door and head in. Note: both men and women are welcome, but must enter through separate door. (men through the main front door, and women through the doors around on the left side of the Mosque.)
The many mosque minarets that line the Alexandria skyline are quite picturesque, and the Abu Abbas al-Mursi Mosque down by the waterfront is no exception.
It was built over the sight where a 13th century saint is buried.
This beautiful mosque, with its high minaret and four domes, is Alexandria's largest and one of the most important Islamic monuments.
In 1775 the Algerians built the mosque over the tomb of the thirteenth century Andalusan saint Ahmed Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi who had joined and then lead the Shadhali brotherhood. The interior is made up of eight monolithic granite columns and a colonnade of elongated arches.
It was rebuilt in 1943 with the domes and the towering (73 meter) minaret. It is one of Alexandria's foremost religious buildings and women are not allowed inside the mosque proper, but may only visit a room at the back of the mosque

Little bars, that's how they keep calories down. Taste is marginal, consistency OK and chewy, but swallow and after taste disappointing in a big way!

Celebrities Before They Were Famous: The Best Throwback Pics
Celebrity photos from before they were famous are always fun to look at - and thanks to social media, there's a lot more of them around than there used to be.
We're rounded up these pictures of supermodels, actors and singers as children, from Throwback Thursday Instagrams and Twitter shares, and they're so sweet. Though some stars haven't changed much at all, and others you're quite used to seeing childhood snaps of, there are others (we're looking at you, Orlando Bloom and Daniel Craig) who you actually won't recognise.
From Cheryl, Cara Delevingne and Harry Styles, as adorable, cheeky-faced kids, to Jessica Alba, Ryan Gosling and Claire Danes at the start of their careers, we've got the whole of the A-list covered.
Take a peek at these celebrity pictures to play guess who and spot them before they were famous...

I only heard about this from a Spanish friend here in the US who posted same vid to FB.
Is this a similar situation to what Greece has been going through? Or has Spain found it's own unique way to get shafted by their Gov't?

You are morally correct, but some protesters did break the law. The police's job is to enforce the law. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not protecting the people.
The protesters need to be smarter and win the police over to their side. Unfortunately, there is a lack of leadership.

Did you know that you've been given a mission? If we claim to be followers of Christ it's time to realize the job we've been given.
[Steve Myers] What can I do? Maybe you've asked this question. An elderly lady in our congregation asked me that question. She was suffering from a stroke. She had had a stroke. The left side of her face was droopy. She couldn't use her left arm, and she just felt like she couldn't contribute at all. And perhaps you've felt that way at times. What can I do because of my circumstances I'm not able to do much at all that feels like I'm contributing?
And yet, there's an amazing passage in the Bible that talks about the God given mission that each one of us has. It's in John chapter 17, and in verse 18 it says, "As you sent me into the world," now this is Jesus Christ talking, He says, "I also have sent them into the world" (John 17:18 John 17:18As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
American King James Version×). So here's Christ praying at the end of His life talking about His disciples, that God sent Christ into the world and yet He is sending all of us into the world as well. But what about this lady who had suffered that stroke? How could she be sent into the world? Well, just a couple of verses later He says, "That they may all be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they also may be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me" (John 17:21 John 17:21That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
American King James Version×).
So there's a connection to the mission that Christ gave every one of us and the proclamation of the gospel, being a living representative of Jesus Christ. And in fact just a couple of chapters later He says basically the same thing in chapter 20:21 He says this, "Peace to you as the Father has sent Me, I also send you" (John 20:21 John 20:21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be to you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.
American King James Version×). So no matter our circumstances we realize from these two passages that we do have a mission. God's given us a mission that we can have the same kind of mission that Christ had. He said we were sent like the Father sent Him.
He's given us duties that we can do. We have the same message to carry. We should have the same attitude. We should have the same doctrine. We should have the same perspective. And you know, after that lady that had the stroke realized this message, you know she wasn't able to run out there into the world and proclaim that message by preaching or teaching in that way, but you know what she began to do? She began to write members at church letters, and she encouraged them. I mean this was an amazing, inspirational thing for me to see this, this lady who couldn't do much of anything because of the difficulties she had with her health, and yet she took that to heart and was able to encourage others despite her own problems. But she took that to heart and wrote people and encouraged them and was able to be that inspiration that Christ wanted her to be. And it was such an encouraging thing. And I wondered, well, I should be able to do that. I don't have those same difficulties, and yet I have been given the same duty, the same job. And so I'd like to encourage you to take these verses to heart, and realize that we have been given a duty.
We have been given a mission. Let's take that mission to heart, and pray about it and ask God:
"Show me what I can do so that I can show Christ in my life, so that I can be an example like Jesus Christ was, so that I can encourage others, that I can bring that same message, that I can stand true and carry the word of God to others in whatever form that might take."
And I think that if we begin to do that, then we are fulfilling the mission that God's given to each and every one of us.
That's BT Daily . We'll see you next time.

Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
29 Sep 2011 00:31 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and 59 other parties and groups have threatened to boycott elections unless the country's military, which currently rules the country, amends the election laws.
In a joint statement issued on Wednesday, the groups set a deadline of Sunday for their demands to be met. The military had earlier announced the polls would begin in November.
The proposed changes would effectively bar many supporters of Hosni Mubarak, the country's former president who was forced from office after a popular uprising in February, from running for office, the statement said.
"We will boycott [the elections] if they have not responded positively to our demands by Sunday," Sayyid al-Badawi, the head of the Wafd party, told the Reuters news agency.
Nov 28 vote / Dec 5 runoff in districts: Cairo, Fayoum, Port Saeed, Domyat, Alexandria, Kifr Sheikh, Assiut, Luxor, Red Sea
Dec 14 vote / Dec 21 runoff in districts: Giza, Beni Suef, Monofiya, Sharquiya, Ismaliya, Suez, Bahrain, Sohag, Aswan
Jan 3 vote / Jan 10 runoff in districts: Minya, Qulybia, Gharbiya, Dahaliya, North Sinai, South Sinai, Mattrouh, Qena, Wadi Gadeed
After the dissolution of Mubarak's National Democratic Party under a court order, the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party is the largest and best organised political party in Egypt.
On Tuesday, Egypt's ruling military council said that parliamentary elections would begin from November 28, and invited candidates to start registering for the poll from October 12.
Under the rules approved by the council, political parties will compete for two-thirds of the upper and lower houses of parliament, while the rest of the seats will be allocated to individuals.
Badawi said that the group of political parties wanted to be able to put up candidates both for election and for the seats to be allocated to individuals.
"We reject participation in the elections unless the article is changed," said the statement, which was signed by the coalition of The Democratic Alliance, which includes 37 parties along with the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party.
Some Muslim Brotherhood officials, however, downplayed the threat of a boycott.
"Everybody is talking about a boycott, but we are not behind a boycott because it means postponing the transfer of power, which we don't want to do," said Mohammed el-Beltagi, a leading Brotherhood party member.
Treason law demand
The group also called on the military council to activate a "treason law" issued under Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's former president, in the 1950s to fight political corruption and abuse of office. In addition, it reiterated a long-standing demand that emergency laws, which were put back in place earlier this month, be repealed.
In August, the government revived an amended version of the treason law, the MENA state news agency reported. That law was sent to the military council, but is yet to be approved.
Under the law, any government official, parliament member or minister may be punished for abuse of power if they, their relatives or acquaintances benefited from any public office they had held.
Activists in Egypt say the law would effectively bar many Mubarak supporters from running for office for another 10 years.
Inquiry into alleged abuse
Also on Wednesday, Egypt's military prosecutor opened an inquiry into a video showing a dozen Egyptian police and military officers beating and giving electric shocks to two detainees.
The officers were laughing and filming the torture with their cellphones.
Live Box 201171720243342216
The two men, one in a grey Egyptian robe and the second in a green shirt, were being beaten while being repeatedly questioned about where they obtained the guns and rifles that were allegedly seized from them in the northern Nile Delta province of Dakahliya.
When they refused to answer, the men were repeatedly given electric shocks to their ears and chins.
"The presence of military police inside a civilian police station, and beating up detainees to force them to confess, is kidnapping," said Malik Adly, a lawyer and activist at the Hisham Mubarak Law Centre, which is to file a lawsuit with the public prosecutor.
The state news agency said the military prosecutor had opened an inquiry, but lawyers say those proceedings are highly secretive.
Former minister convicted
Meanwhile, Anas al-Fiqqi, Egypt's former information minister under Mubarak, was convicted of corruption on Wednesday and sentenced to seven years in prison.
Al-Fiqqi joins a growing list of former government officials who have been convicted of crimes committed during Mubarak's rule, including the former interior minister, tourism minister and a ruling party insider and business magnate.
Osama al-Sheikh, the former chief of the state television station, was also sentenced on Wednesday to serve five years in prison in the same case as al-Fiqqi.

The addition of even more new model boats at the Brisbane Boat Show including inflatable and pedal powered fishing kayaks, imported fibreglass centre console rigs and locally built offshore aluminium boats from one of the largest names in the Australian marine industry, will create even greater diversity for this year's Show.
Stacer Ocean Ranger 679 - Brisbane Boat Show
Their addition follows on from a flotilla of new models already foreshadowed for the show as well as new boat engines, electronics and fishing gear.
Stacer will display its Ocean Ranger 679 Hardtop for the first time at a show in south-east Queensland – it's part of an entirely new plate range for Stacer – as well as the Assault Pro range of tournament styled boats and a redesigned version of one of the company's most popular models, the Seaway 429.
The Ocean Ranger Hardtop, also available as a 739, features 5mm plate sheets below the waterline based on the EVO hull design.
A sharp entry and 20 degree deadrise combine with a 750mm freeboard, reverse chines and a chequer-plated floor to make a definitive statement about how serious these new rigs are for offshore work.
Stacer's new offshore assault weapon also features welded rod holders, live bait tank, cutting board, burley bucket, a 100 litre kill tank and also a 60 litre live bait tank in the transom with a viewing window.
The kill tank can be swapped to become a secondary 80 litre fuel tank to the 215 litre one fitted as standard.
The redesigned Stacer Assault Pro 459 is a seriously minded fishing rig with a rear casting platform including a live bait tank, as well as a front casting platform with a dual battery set up designed to accommodate an electric motor.
This new version features sides which are 100mm higher, a sportier console and wind deflector and is rated for outboards up to 75hp.
The new Seaway 429 is wider and deeper than its predecessors and like the Assault Pro 459, features greater freeboard this time around.
There's a new dual position rear lounge and a lean-through windscreen hatch with a newly designed, moulded anchor well.
Hobie Car Pro Angler 17 - Brisbane Boat Show
Hobie Cat Australasia will display the latest addition to the Mirage Pro-Angler range – the Tandem 17 with mirage drive which allows people to power the kayak with their feet.
Adapting the concept of 'pedalling', the system drives two under water flippers which work like a penguin's fins to propel the kayak while leaving hands free for fishing.
As well as the Pro-Angler 17 Tandem, Hobie will display others in the mirage drive range of kayaks as well as paddle kayaks, stand up paddleboards and accessories.
Compact Fishing Australia will be a first-time exhibitor and will use the Brisbane Boat Show to launch its range of Nifty inflatable boats.
Rated to carry three people or 225kg (whichever comes first), the Nifty can be inflated in a few minutes and comes with a carry bag, foot pump, two alloy oars, two alloy seats and two fishing rod holders.
It also is rated for a 3.5 hp.
And living up to its name of compact fishing, the company also is releasing a range of stainless steel, coil fishing rods.
With a lifetime warranty, these small, light rods in eight coil, 2.3kg; six coil 4.5kg and four coil 11.3kg load ratings, have inter-changeable rod tips.
They are designed for people who want to fish, but who have limited space to carry gear such as backpackers, kayak fisherfolk and some holiday-makers.
Fincraft centre console - Brisbane Boat Show
Johnny Boats from Bundaberg will have a FinCraft 19 centre console which has come out of the Larson stable in the United States and which the company says is about to be rebranded to a Seaswirl Striper 1905.
It has been rigged with a 130hp Evinrude E-Tec for the show which also marks the company's entry into importing Twin Vee catamarans ranging from 12 to 35 footers in Australia.
Still in the catamaran configuration, Fishing and Leisure Boats from Ashmore will have an 18 foot Carolina Catamaran on display for the first time in Brisbane.
The company specialises in powered catamarans with franchises for Livingston Boats which is part of the Powercat Group.
The company also builds World Cat and Glacier Bay cats in North Carolina in the U.S. as well as Suntracker pontoon boats.
BRP Evinrude twin installation on a pontoon boat - Brisbane Boat Show
Fishing and Leisure also are hoping its new Mako 23 will arrive in Australia in time for the show – it currently is scheduled to hit our shores just four days before the Brisbane Boat Show opens.
Northside Marine has confirmed that in addition to the Axis T22 which it already has announced will be making its debut at the show, the dealership also will be showing the 2014 version of the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV which, according to its Tennessee-based manufacturer, is based on a model that has been one of the best selling in the history of water sports.
These latest rigs will be in addition to other new models including CruiseCraft's Explorer 595 hardtop; Australian Master Marine's Tournament 7800; the Quintrex Trident 690 hardtop which will be lined up alongside sistership blue water models, the 650 and 610; and the Haines Group's unveiling of the Signature 650F which has three options of transom configurations suited to different aspects of cruising and fishing.
This year will be a major one for electronics with Navico breaking new ground on a number of fronts including smashing apart the price entry point for a colour fish finder.
It will be unveiling the Lowrance Elite-3X for under $150 and that includes a dual-frequency 83/200 kHz broadband sounder transducer and features including an LED-backlit display with detailed 240x360 pixel resolution.
Also on display will be the next generation of Lowrance Elite 7 and Elite 5 fish finders and charter plotters featuring CHIRP sonar – that's an acronym for Compressed High Intensity Radiated Pulsing.
In layman's terms, instead of one pulse wave, several are sent simultaneously and that gives better separation of targets.
Navico also will have its latest Simrad brand of multifunction navigation systems on display along with the new B&G Zeus chart plotters designed for cruising yachts, cruising racers and outright racing boats.
This year the Brisbane Boat Show will have a greater focus on diversity of marine-related experiences including tackle industry display, cooking and fishing equipment demonstrations, free advice on how to get into boating, or for those currently enjoying a boating lifestyle, a 'how much is your current trailer boat worth' brokerage advice service.
Displays from bayside marinas and businesses, fishing groups and clubs will provide an introduction more of the facilities available on Brisbane's doorstep.
For example, East Coast Marina which has been operating on the bay at Manly for 34 years, will have information about its new dry rack storage facility, a solution worth exploring by people who face a boat storage problem.
The new rack storage is the latest to be built in Australia and a first for Brisbane. It can hold 240 craft up to 10 metres in length and complements the marina's existing 365 secure water berths.
You can speak with representatives who will explain the seven day a week valet parking system where you can arrive at the marina with your boat expertly launched into the water and waiting your arrival. On your return, she will be lifted out, washed and motor flushed, before being returned to storage.
A display of new engines with new capacities, new technologies and wild new colour schemes are among the other features which will make this the best Brisbane Boat Show ever.
The Brisbane Boat Show runs from Friday, September 12 to Monday, September 15 at the Brisbane Showgrounds, Bowen Hills.
Adult entry to the Brisbane Boat Show is $18, concession is $12, there are discounted prices for 'after dark' admittance on the Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m., children under 15 are free; an adult two-day pass is $25 and tickets are available through the website.

Christian organizations continue to be assaulted on college campuses across the nation. At the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, a Christian club is suing the school after it ruled that the group isn't religious and so must allow students of other faiths — or no faith — to join and even be in leadership if it wants to receive university recognition.
Florida Governor Rick Scott is expected to sign a bill allowing students and others to offer "inspirational messages" at public-school events. State law already allows students to engage in two minutes of silent prayer or meditation at the beginning of the school day, but S.B. 98, passed March 1 by the state legislature, would broaden the religious landscape at schools, allowing students to make short inspirational speeches or offer prayers at non-compulsory school events.
President Terry O'Neil (left) of the National Organization of Women announced on March 1: "The bishops have not been able to convince Catholic women to not take birth control. We know this because 98 percent of sexually active [Catholic] women take birth control at some point in their lives — just like 98 percent of sexually active non-Catholic women take birth control at some point in their lives. So the bishops have failed and the evangelical preachers that don't want their women to take birth control — they have failed."
A Christian pastor who tried to encourage Muslims to leave Islam will receive $100,000 in damages from Dearborn, Michigan, which tried to stop him from evangelizing at the city's Arab-American Festival.
Saying "Mexican" rather than "Hispanic," asserting that the majority of welfare recipients are black, or suggesting that most terrorists are of Muslim descent are remarks often characterized as racist or derogatory. But associating Catholics with pedophiles and referring to communion as a "barbaric ritual" is, apparently, politically correct, at least, according to some standards.

I read this book as a challenge I set for myself. My readers and friends voted for a book to read in May, and Wuthering Heights was the book they picked. I didn't do one of my normal reviews for this, so I won't be posting it directly on Goodreads. It's long, ranty, and not very nice. So you've been warned. You can find it in full here: http://alifeamongthepages.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/review-sorta-wuthering-height...
What I thought this book would be and what it actually turned out like were quite different. It's not a love story, not in any traditional sense of the term. Heathcliff is no brooding yet romantic hero, he's almost antihero material. I also wasn't expecting the manner in which it was told, as the story told by the housekeeper to the tenant, with some observations of the present breaking up the narrative. It made for a slightly odd story, as at times you knew more about the story than the people in it.
I'm not sure I ever really got what made Cathy tick, what made her make some really bad decisions that went on to change the lives of Edgar, Isabella and Heathcliff, as well as her own and had ramifications for the next generation as well. I found her difficult to understand and very difficult to feel very much sympathy for. Heathcliff I had a little more sympathy for, seeing he did have a hard upbringing and he thought he'd lost his true love, but that he should then turn out quite so vindictive and cruel didn't necessarily seem to follow. I also don;t have any truck with blaming your childhood or your parents for your current problems, it fails to hold any water after a while. So while I wanted to know what happened, I can't say I was at all upset that this did not have a happy ending for the older generation, neither really deserved it and both went out of their way to court unhappiness. That the next generation was making changes for the better was more positive, but the route by which that was achieved was, again, somewhat contrived. It all seemed to involve a lot of about faces in attitudes and trying to be something the characters were not.
All of which makes it sound like I didn't enjoy it - I did. It was far more enjoyable than I expected it to be, I just can;t say I'd want to sit down and pass the time with any of the characters, except, perhaps, Nelly Dean, she seemed to be the sole voice of reason and stability in the entire tale. She, at least, deserved her happy ending.
While I get my kicks from vengeance stories (Count of Monte Cristo blew my mind at the extent of his revenge) and can understand Heathcliff's cruelty given society's insistence upon his position/worth in life (and the consequential loss of his soul devouring love), everyone else is so goddamn foolish I feel his pain at being robbed of the joy from their misery - like flies to manure. Bummer when classics ain't all that.
A few of our group were revisiting Wuthering Heights this month, as most had read it in years past, but a classic such as this tends to offer up a little more of itself with each read.
Traditionally, the sense of place encompasses most readers of this novel and the isolation and barrenness of the moors sets the dark mood no matter how many times you read it.
But our discussion fell mostly on the clear class distinctions and the cruel manner the characters had towards each other. We wondered at the Brontes, their way of life and the amount of biographical content within the book.
It was generally agreed that this was a wonderfully written story, even though the dark tone throughout never really let up. The author has written a timeless classic that seems to have survived the generations and still stirs the heart and the mind today.
Our group questioned as to whether Wuthering Heights was a love story or a tragedy. The answer is sure to vary with every reader … but which ever you decide, you could never fail to find the truly timeless and enduring appeal of this masterpiece.
Monday Night Book Club
I actually had to read this my first year in college, not high school, but I didn't get what all the hype was. It was a crappy love story, unsatisfying and annoying. I remember hating all of the characters.
"wild, confused; disjointed and improbable"
"In Wuthering Heights the reader is shocked, disgusted, almost sickened by details of cruelty, inhumanity, and the most diabolical hate and vengeance" ... "[it is] impossible to lay it aside afterwards and say nothing about it".
"How a human being could have attempted such a book as the present without committing suicide before he had finished a dozen chapters, is a mystery. It is a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors."
"We know nothing in the whole range of our fictitious literature which presents such shocking pictures of the worst forms of humanity."
a "disagreeable story" ... the Bells "seem to affect painful and exceptional subjects"

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553212583, Mass Market Paperback)"My greatest thought in living is Heathcliff. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be... Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure... but as my own being." Wuthering Heights is the only novel of Emily Bronte, who died a year after its publication, at the age of thirty. A brooding Yorkshire tale of a love that is stronger than death, it is also a fierce vision of metaphysical passion, in which heaven and hell, nature and society, are powerfully juxtaposed. Unique, mystical, with a timeless appeal, it has become a classic of English literature.

In 19th century Yorkshire, the passionate attachment between a headstrong young girl and a foundling boy brought up by her father causes disaster for them and many others, even in the next generation.
