Wuthering Heights or Pride and Prejudice?

Ok, so Katy and I have been having this argument for a while. We both love reading, but we disagree on whether Pride and Prejudice or Wuthering Heights is the better book.

now i say P&P all the way, i would take Darcy over Heathcliff any day of the week.

What do you think?

okay katy u can yell at me (i know you love yelling :) but....i like P&P better :) I love Healthcliff as a CHARACTER but I can't love him, if that makes sense. Darcy I love to despise throughout most of the book and then come to like him a little but Heathcliff gets absolutely no love from me because he's just too brooding. I always wanna yell at him "CUT THE CRAP ALREADY!!!" All of the WH characters are wayyyyy too bitchy and annoying while the annoyingness of the P&P characters is kinda funny. so...yeah :). Commence your defense for WH!

Whether characters are "bitchy" or funny doesn't determine a good book. Wuthering Heights is the better book because it is better written and [in my opinion] has a better plot. Heathcliff may have been cruel at times, but that's what made the book interesting.

I would have to say p & p although I haven't read it. Wuthering heights was pure torture to read 

I love Wuthering Heights.
Not that I would ever want Heathcliff as a husband, EVER.
or Linton. bleh. but I did love Hareton-he's the only one who I truly felt deserved sympathy.
The hate and betrayl and spite and fatal/unrequited love just jumped off the pages.

I'm not a big fan of Wuthering Heights and I love Jane Austen so this is easy for me - Pride and Prejudice all the way.
