Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. One of those classics I had never previously read and I fully see why it is a classic. A+ fantastically fucked up obsessed relationship. A lot of really good intense descriptions. Haunting the narrative! This is one of those love or hate books and I personally love it.

21: The Final Unfinished Voyage of Jack Aubrey by Patrick O'Brian. Three chapters of the latest Aubrey-Maturin book O'Brian was writing when he passed. This was set up to have the typed manuscript on the left pages and the handwritten draft on the right which was interesting but also I couldn't read O'Brian's handwriting for the most part so I could only catch a few bits where things were changed or what happened at the end (duel!) where he hadn't started typing any of it up yet. Will be ending my personal series collection with the final complete book 20.

In TV, I watched Shogun which I hear won many Emmys, good for them. Interesting historical setting, intricate politics, and exploration of cultural differences is a winning combination to me too.
