I liked Jane Eyre when I read it in high school, but by the time I read The Eyre Affair I didn't really remember the plot.

Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights is my dad's least favorite book ever. Maybe if I'd read it when I was 15 as required high school reading, I would have felt the same way, but I read it 10 years older than that and really liked it. It's almost perfectly constructed, it's emotionally powerful, and the prose is great once you get used to it being 150+-years-old.

The Wiki page says there's a role-playing game based on the novel, and you can find the rules here: http://unseelie.org/rpg/wh/. I really have nothing to say. I think I've been living my life incorrectly that I've never played this.
