    The Wuthering Heights edition had me fooled. I didn't recognize that that's a house on the top and immediately thought, "is this Lord of the Rings?" because I thought it was Mount Doom. 😂😂

    I noted Carolyn is obssessed with covers. I'd be too, but unfortunately we mostly have penguin classics where I live and some classics are not even available. So, my main focus is getting the book in whatever the cover.

    i really like the cover of annihilation farrar straus and girox edition, the way the title is separated into four three-letter lines is cool, the plant-thing and the dragonfly are drawn in a really nice style, and the book itself feels very nice to hold (the texture of paper.. the textures on the cover... oh its great). it also was a miracle to find in a thrift shop bc i dont live anywhere near english speaking countries
    i also really like the designs of all the books by макс фрай by the publisher амфора. the main two series are very clearly distinguished by the main colours of the covers (orange and green) and the little black illustrations they put on each book are fantastic imo

    _Under the Volcano_ was my first guess for _Wuthering Heights_, but I would have been surprised if that was what it was based on the clues.
