    It's written by Zora Neal Thurston (sp?).

    Zora braved writing in the Black American non-standard dialect.

    If you are into love stories, this is a great read. More passion than Wuthering Heights.

    doesn't have more passion than wuthering heights, but a great read nonetheless.

    i just finished up an Iceberg Slim novel....a not so heard of one that was never published until 93 or so.

    called Doom Fox. it's typical, easy reading Slim, great story telling, that sinks you and rips your heart out in the last 20 pages.

    I hear they are putting together a movie, ice-t owning all his book rights called...Pimp, the Iceberg Slim story...or something like that. It's been confirmed ice Cube will play the role.

    If ice-t's production company was still on my floor i could get the skinny, but they moved out. Detour mag moved in there and upstairs instead.

    I too contend the claim that it outdoes "Wuthering Heights." As if.

    wuthering heights bites my dick.

    Go double penetrate yourself Nate.

    I have a beautiful 1930 copy of Wuthering Heights I picked up for $2.00. It has the name Joy E. Aland in the front cover, with the words "1940 Senior". She's probably dead now, but at least she read Wuthering Heights first.

    I went to the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth a few years back. The village they lived in was so dark and depressing, it's hard to believe they could create so much passion from such surroundings. Their home was built right on the blackened headstones of the village graveyard. But then maybe that same bleakness fed their need to escape through creative endeavours.
