I am reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

... is excellent. (IMNSHO!) People either love it or hate it, no middle ground. Secondary votes for The Grand Sophy, Jane Eyre, and I, Claudius.

I read Wide Sargasso Sea and really enjoyed it. I saw it more as being inspired by Jane Eyre rather than as some form of rewrite. It was truly bizarre, but kind of interesting in that crazed, life-in-the-tropics sort of way. Very melodramatic, though. However, reading Richard's review makes me ...

... there's a reason why these are classics. Come to think of it, one book I did dislike quite a bit at school was Jane Eyre and I've grown to love it since. (Another was Wuthering Heights but I still feel the ame way about that.) Children should be absolutely forbidden to read any ...

... once acquired, to be indulged in small sips....over-wrought, anyone? But i liked Wide Sargasso Sea as a flip side to Jane Eyre...and sometimes over-wrought is good!

#9 Oh my, that's a tough one. Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre are up there, and I'll always maintain that Dracula and Carmilla are amazing. I plan on going back to a lot of classics and gothic novels this year as well. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

>75 Also, to bring up Jane Eyre again (I just read it so it's fresh in my mind), Rochester is considered ugly by conventional means, but when Jane (or Charlotte) "reads" his face, she finds that the bumps and bulges on his head show that he was basically a good man with a moral center.

... tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiognomy">Physiognomy One stumbles across this fairly often in 19th century literature--Jane Eyre comes to mind. I even saw a recent article that says it's coming back into vogue among scientists (albeit in a somewhat different form from before).

... to do with the accents. Those dots mess up my copy of Jane Eyre, which is described as

by Charlotte Brontë (otherwise under Charlotte Brontë)

Charlotte's The Professor's pretty short, I think... Or read Jane Eyre if you haevn't already, it's bloody brilliant and perfect for these wintery evenings. I'm trying to finish mine too, to start my 75 (I'm moving up too!) and my 1010 Challenges with a clean slate, but I keep getting ...

... really does depend on your daughter's tastes and reading ability. I know some 16 year olds would love Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Tess and Anna Karenina, but I wouldn't have been one of them (although I now love all four). Based on what I've read, I think she should give these a try: ...

... "some guy named Foyle." Of course, his first Thursday Next book, The Eyre Affair, makes extensive use of the events in Jane Eyre, and includes the wonderful suggestion that by entering the world of the book, Thursday changed the original ending. 3. Gene Wolfe's novels are rich with ...

I've only read 20 or so of these, but I recommend: Jane Erye The Good Earth Don Quixote (Very long, but very enjoyable) And Medea (especially if she has not already read it.) If she has an interest in Science Fiction: Dune and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep are both ...

For English LTers, can you just remind us how old that makes your daughter? I'm guessing 16-ish? If I'm right then she has some great books to choose from and I would especially recommend Things Fall Apart, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, The House of Spirits, Of Love and Shadows, Pride and Preju ...

I was Catch-22 in the first quiz and Jane Eyre in the second. I've never read either book. Guess I need to put them on my TBR pile.

All time favorites? This is really hard. But here goes: 1a) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 1b) Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov 1c) The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner 4) The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams 5) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ...

Oh, and if you're going to include classics like the Scarlet Letter, why not include Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice? Why is A Christmas Carol the only work by Dickens included when Jules Verne gets 3 entries?

I'm slightly horrified by the "targeting the Twilight audience" goal of the films, (well, mainly of the Jane Eyre film - I'm not so attached to Wuthering Heights) because I suspect they are therefore not going to be particularly concerned with appealing to book purists... It doesn't sound like ...

I'm either Jane Eyre or Much Ado About Nothing, depending on which grammar answer I choose at the beginning. I like to think I'm a combination of both. :)

I'm Jane Eyre which is slightly amusing as my real first name is Jane.

45. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte Of the three books I've read so far by the various Brontes, I liked Jane Eyre best, this second, and Wuthering Heights third. But I've liked them all, overall, and look forward to reading more. I much preferred the parts from Gilbert's point ...

... Charlotte to Elizabeth Gaskell (who wrote a biography of Charlotte). I found the quote in the introduction to my edition of Jane Eyre. Yes, I've read other Austen books, but I haven't read Mansfield Park, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to do so. And I don't agree with Charlotte, ...

I just finished Jane Eyre for the first time. So glad I finally read it. I think I may read Mansfield Park next, just to see why Charlotte wrote of Ms. Austen: "What sees keenly, speaks aptly, moves flexibly, it suits her to study; but what throbs fast and full, though hidden, what the blood ...

55. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, 489 pages. 4.5/5. Review. Finished 11/28/2009. Another classic I've never read. Even though Jane Eyre different than I expected, it was great. A very satisfying read, especially over the lazy Thanks ...

... get the feeling that she is writing the book merely to play out her own twisted fantasies. One of the big themes of Jane Eyre is grace — Rochester can never *really* deserve Jane because of both his past and what he tries to do (*avoiding spoilers here or I would be more specific*), ...

I disagree with that reviewer about my inner twelve-year-old or whatever. Every younger reader that I know who has read Jane Eyre has, without exception, either mildly or violently disliked Mr. Rochester. It isn't about "getting" or understanding him at all. They think him old and creepy and at ...

#196 Will surely do that, Amy. #198 I read Jane Eyre when I was 12 or thereabouts and found it to be kind of gloomy. Not that I didn't like it. But I certainly didn't fall in love with the hero. He seemed, well...old to me. But who knows maybe if I re-read it someday I'll change my mind!

Are there a few Jane Eyre fans hereabouts? Apparently, if we're to believe Jason Pettus, Jane Eyre brought out his inner 12-year old girl. It's the second review down... http://www.librarything.com/profile_reviews.php?view=jasonpettus

64. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Finally read this classic. This area of reading is, sadly, poorly represented. So many new, good books to read the old ones seem to get put off. I am trying to make an effort to get some of these read. Of course I loved it. I knew the major reveal but ...

... gain. I, for one, do not care to ever have to read Wuthering Heights again. Not my cup of tea at all, although I enjoy Jane Eyre immensely. I am adding books #111-113 to the BlackHole. I have read the others mentioned.

... but it was interesting enough to keep me reading. The humor is great, the whole concept is funny, and having just read Jane Eyre I enjoyed it quite a bit. 117. Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde I checked out volume 2 from the library so I could see what happened Next (inside joke). ...

... was because there were a number of recent posts. And it had a good discussion about a book I've really never liked much (Jane Eyre) and a book I do (Wide Sargasso Sea) and almost made me really want to read more Bronte (check that - made me want to read more, until I remembered the last ...

I'm still trudging through Jane Eyre (I'll be glad when I can finally stop including that book in these threads.). It's hard for me right now because I'm at a part in the book where she has to start over yet again and has just found another family to mooch off of after fleeing the man who loved ...

... have been like for Charlotte - the two people she loved most in the world (E & A), her critics and editors while writing Jane Eyre, dying and leaving her all alone. It made me cry, especially when Gaskell writes that Emily's dog followed her casket to the funeral, then went home and slept ...

... than I can? I also can't help thinking that perhaps the ultimate 'non-physical-beauty-advocating' book must be Jane Eyre. I was about 13 when I first read it and, to be honest, I think I was too young, but I know thousands of others read it at that kind of age and loved it so a lot ...

... all very romantic I guess, in a teenage Twilight sort of way, but there's no depth in it. Yes! I still haven't read Jane Eyre (ducks head), but when I do, I'm really looking forward to comparing Charlotte's and Emily's points of view. One thing I thought as I read Wuthering Heights was ...

Medellia, The book was Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, edited by Harold Bloom, and yes, I found it to be very worth reading. The best of the lot was the feminist reading by Gilbert and Gubar (and the worst, disappointingly, the Marxist reading by Terry Eagleton). The essays really deepened my ...

One cannot dismiss Lord of the Flies. It is a singular masterpiece whereas, though I love both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, they are not. They have been done before and since, just not as significantly nor as well. And as to Woolf; most any book of hers you put in there will ...

>2 Wuthering Heights removed for Jane Eyre? No, no, no, no! Take out Lord of the Flies to make room for Jane Eyre! WH must stay! I don't think I'd count Joyce as a British writer, but I've not yet read Ulysses, so I don't really feel qualified to argue that point. I would change The ...

I finished Dracula one day before Halloween, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm still reading Jane Eyre but I'm having a hard time with it. I guess I need some time to recover from the 2nd part of the book. . . Now though I am reading The Flanders Panel for the The Europe Endless Challenge. ...

... not such a fan of Anne myself, but all three surviving sisters published) Thomas Hardy? And I, too, am so happy that Jane Eyre has found another fan. I'm a big Bronte nut myself. ;)

Finished Jane Eyre last night and loved it. Just started Leviathan by Philip Hoare this morning, about mankind's fascination with whales, and I am loving it so far.

#51: I love Jane Eyre, so I am happy to see that it has found another fan!

And Jane Eyre was my #8. I read this book for my Classics/1001 category. I loved the story. I always thought that the language and the feel of the story would be too old fashioned for my liking, but I loved it. I read the Penguin Classics version, and what I disliked was the introduction/foot ...

#67 was another classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I tried a couple of chapters online first (Gutenberg Project) to see how I would like the language used, and I didn't think it was that bad. I loved the book. I loved the story, I loved the writing, I loved Jane. The only thing I didn't ...

I know someone has already suggested Jane Eyre but I want to give it another vote. Edward Cullen does remind me of Mr. Rochester. What other character scowls? It always annoyed me when I see Twilight shirts saying 'I love Edward' when I know that Edward Rochester is so much sexier, romantic ...

My favorite has always been Charlotte - like many here I've read Jane Eyre more times than I can count, but I'm reading The Life of Charlotte Bronte right now and I'm becoming fascinated by Emily. I'm taking this particular biography with a whole shaker of salt, but based on what Gaskell has to ...

... -- I whould revisit his works. Regarding Wuthering Heights, those Bronte sisters sure did write about craziness. Jane Eyre has crazy Bertha way up in the attic in a padded rome.

19th century in Thornfield hall with Jane Eyre. But I guess that is not historical fiction ;)

Charlotte Bronte - Jane Eyre I was spellbound for most of the book, but for a small section which I found a bit preachy and grandiose, by the beautiful prose, the interesting characters and the great story. If it wasn't for the aforementioned section and a too-neat coincidence I would have ...

Just reread The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and loved it even more this time around. Now I started on Jane Eyre, my first 'classic' novel.

# 221 Nah! Jane Eyre is good but too gloomy. Death is a gloomy business as it is! At least Pride and Prejudice will keep me happy! :-)

... books as could as fast as i could. I would read a book a day if i could get away w/it. When i was around 11-12 i read Jane Eyre, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn & Wuthering Heights among others. The only one i did not like was Wuthering Heights & i still would never reread or recommend it ...

... Wuthering Heights; it was his second adaptation of a Bronte novel, as he also wrote the film score to the 1944 version of Jane Eyre. As for Floyd, he is best known for his operas Of Mice and Men and most notably Susannah, which includes the lovely aria "Ain't it a Pretty Night?" ED ...

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - good story, I see why people keep reading it. Reminded me of LM Montgomery The Aeneid by Virgil - I was never as familiar with this story as The Iliad or The Odyssey so I'm glad I read this. Confessions of Augustine - probably not one I'll ever read again ...

... thing... #238 avatiakh, it's always time for a Jane Austen reread! ;) I'm not such a Bronte fan. I enjoyed both Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey (yes, I know they're different Brontes), but the style of all three of them (yes, I will finish Wuthering Heights one of these days) is a ...

Oh dear! Sorry to waylay you with Jane Eyre, Lorena. But I bet you couldn't have REALLY discovered it for the first time without excessive raving too, so you must pardon me. You guys are both ahead of me in LotR. We are just setting out to seek Saruman in his lair. Yes, Gollum is ...

... Gray before, or is this your first experience with it? I didn't like it when I first read it, but then I didn't like Jane Eyre much either when I first read that. It's interesting that you mention those two together, though, as I did have a similar experience with both, having less-than-g ...

To Kill A Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre are the top 3 on my all-time favorite book list. I re-read these about once every other year. The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy comes a close 4th

Jane Eyre is one of my three all-time favorite books! It joins the ranks of To Kill A Mockingbird and A Prayer for Owen Meany. I try to re-read it each year. Have you seen the PBS adaptation of the movie? It is wonderful.

... like most of the chapters on the 18th and 19th centuries repeat the refrain that so-and-so's work was derivative of either Jane Eyre or Middlemarch and that so-and-so tried to transcend imitation but just couldn't. This is intriguing to me in light of what I posted in Message #3 from Sho ...

... junk. But sometimes I think I should be more like I was as a child. At 12 years old, I put a bookmark in page 34 of Jane Eyre and, because I thought it was boring (yeah, I know -- but I was 12), I put it back on the shelf without another thought. For 10 years. In my mid-twenties, I ...

Just finished Cranford and I've now started Jane Eyre.

Yes, wisewoman's lovely review of Jane Eyre has deservedly skyrocketed into first place. Since I had no plans of reading The Octopus, I thank you, Wilf, for giving me the gist of it.

Amy, Jane Eyre has been in my top five for years. I LOVE LOVE that book. In fact, I've now officially read it too many times, and although I still love it, I can't read it now for a long time, because I practically know it by heart. I think I've seen two adaptations, and both seem insipid to ...

Finished Jane Eyre last night and heaved a heavy, contented sigh. First five star rating in a while. Not sure what is next up.

... ever written may even be an understatement. I could scarcely put it down and felt the pangs of separation whenever I did. Jane Eyre was the absolute perfect antidote to my reading rut.

... enjoyed by any age. I really *was* going to finish it... I have about half left... but I was also planning a reread of Jane Eyre because another site I'm a part of is having a "special feature" on the Bronte sisters. I've been wanting to reread that for quite some time now, so this was the ...

Jane Eyre and Les Miserables are two of my favorites (sadly I don't have any film recommendations). I find them both comfortingly hopeful in tone.

I am stressed out this week, so I have found myself rewatching the 1983 adaptation of Jane Eyre, with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke. (Hooray for Timothy Dalton!) Have also been rereading my favorite passages. Jane Eyre is good comfort food. Have also been reading more of Les Miserables. For ...

I myself bought Jane Eyre, The Charlemagne Pursuit (Steve Berry) and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Jonathan Safran Foer) at the new (newly moved) bookstore near my mom's last weekend. The bookstore itself was a disappointment, but these books were reasonably priced, so I had to ...

I just finished Tender is the Night and a collection by Edgar Allen Poe. I'm now about 50 pages into Jane Eyre. I've also started The Best Ghost Stories and Why We Suck. Sometimes you need something light and funny.

Ohh...they all sound good. I have actually never read Jane Eyre. I some how escaped high school without reading it, how I do not know. I should put it down on my list to read for this year. The others sound really good too. DH loves Steve Berry and I have a bunch of his books on my TBR pile ...

At the bookstore I got Jane Eyre, The Charlemagne Pursuit (Indiana Jones/Da Vinci Code like adventure) and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I am just going to work all my new buys into the 1010 challenge, because I feel I must read what I buy to justify it :D

I am thoroughly enjoying my first read (believe it or not) of Jane Eyre on a cold, cloudy weekend with a dusting of early snow. Perfect!

About 60 pages into Jane Eyre and liking it about 3 million times more than Wuthering Heights. Charlotte's the girl for me.

63. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte This would make a great Opera! There is true Love, longing, insanity, loveless marriages, suicide and revenge. Even with a happy ending this still would be a great opera.

... like there's a tongue-in-cheek sort of sniggering going on when I add that tag to the book. Villette gets it, but not Jane Eyre, for example. And everyone gets to be "her", no matter the gender, because it's simpler that way. Unfortunately, I'm very haphazard about filling in tags, so ...

#16 I read Jane Eyre way too young, I think. I was 12 or something like that and I really didn't think that much of the book. It was fairly o.k. But I found the story do be a little morbid.

#47 Villette by Charlotte Bronte Many people say this book is better than Jane Eyre. It was written later in her life and is apparently semi-autobiographical. I have to say I liked Jane Eyre better. I did enjoy Villette, but Lucy often irritated me. She tended to be a little meek. I ...

I finally finished Jane Eyre! Horray! There was a rather muddled stretch in the middle where I lost interest, but for the most part I really enjoyed it. I loved the back and forth between Jane and Mr Rochester. I think I'll read Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn next. I feel ...

Me too! Me too! I know that some here do not agree, but Jane Eyre is probably my favorite book of all time. I do very little re-reading, but I have read certain portions of JE so often that I can quote them. Hope your next book is 5 stars as well! Angela

43. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Loooong overdue. I have wanted to read this book for a while, but somehow never got around to buy it. I do have two DVDs of the movie and loved the story very much. When I was shopping at Amazon.co.uk the other week, I noticed they had a copy for less ...

Finished Death of the Party. Now onto Jane Eyre and Christianity and Evolution. These should keep me busy for the week!

In addition to the library books (Snicket and Hart) that I brought home yesterday (and Snicket is almost read), I took Jane Eyre and Christianity and Evolution off my personal shelves to read after the library books are done. These two will go toward my 999 and the other two don't. I also ...

32) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte I'm so glad that I've finally gotten around to reading this must-read classic! Jane Eyre is a classic love story, filled with despair, mystery, intrigue and obstacles. It kept me on the edge of my seat, always wondering what was going to happen next. Highl ...

Right now I'm reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. 1) I got this book from a big cardboard box of books at work, that were to be thrown away (!). 2) I picked it up because it's a classic I've always wanted to read. In addition, I'm hopefully going to study litterature at Uni next year, ...

I'm currently reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontê, after finishing reading Genesis by Bernard Beckett.

I hope to finish Jane Eyre either today or tomorrow, and then I'll start Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell. Besides that, I should continue with either Jodi Picoult's Keeping Faith or Javier Sierra's The Lady in Blue.

Better late than never Jane Eyre. I am really enjoying it. The book is really old with a dark blue cloth cover. I love old books. I've bought books before just because they were old, with no intention of reading them.

I just bought "Agnes Grey" from Half Price Books but haven't read it yet. I've read & re-read "Wuthering Heights" and "Jane Eyre" several times each, and "The Tenant of Wildfield Hall" once. I like all of the Brontes and their books, but probably like "Jane Eyre" the most.

Hello. I've been off LT most of the past fortnight so am very behind. Just chipping in to say I loved Jane Eyre, hated Wuthering Heights.

Awww, Jane Eyre! It's wonderful, but I first read our old copy when I was only tiny - about six, perhaps - and now every time I catch the scent of those musty old pages I get a chill of Grace-Poole-induced childhood terror down my spine. Very evocative. I was really hoping to finish Charlie C ...

orangeena You raise an interesting point. There are some books that when I re-read them, I gain a deeper appreciation. Jane Eyre is one of those.

... be interested in your review of Wide Sargasso Sea. I thought it a very interesting view of what lead to the story in Jane Eyre and definitely worthwhile, I really liked it in conjunction with Jasper Fforde's Eyre Affair.

You might want to finish up with Jenna Starborn by Sharon Shinn, a science fiction retelling of Jane Eyre. It's a lot of fun, while being very true to the original. I love both the original and The Eyre Affair (and sequels) dearly.

Finished Jane Eyre this a.m. and have started The Good House by Tananarive Due , the 1st book in my horror category in the 999 challenge...

At the rate I'm going seems my toughest category is going to be "classics" - think I'm going to go from Jane Eyre to some horror next...

I have several books open at the moment: Jane Eyre, because when it got so cold I just got a sudden craving to re-read. It's one of my favorites; I love Gothic romance and the Victorian era. Wuthering Heights, for pretty much the same reasons. It's just a really cozy read when the nights ...

... and say hello. WOW. You are really zipping along thus far this year and have read some very interesting books. While Jane Eyre is one of my top three all-time favorite books, I have to agree with you on Wuthering Heights. It simply never captured my imagination or tugged at my heart ...

Wow - calling Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre chicklit. Better hearing that than being deaf I suppose, but that's really the extend of it.

... Next: At long last I'll be moving onto The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, which is a reread (but I hadn't read Jane Eyre prior to my original reading of this series, maybe that'll enhance my experience?).

... I've had to add The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Wuthering Heights. I already have Black Beauty and Jane Eyre on my to read list of classics this year so I'm excited to add more. I'm also planning to reread Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn as I read them in 10th grade when ...

I think Jane Eyre picks up speed in the second half of the book. I had trouble getting through the first 10 chapters. I felt depressed and sorry for her and how bad her childhood was. I guess it was necessary to set up the rest of the book. After I finished it, it turned out to be one of my ...

For me it was Wide Sargasso Sea, which I read because I love Jane Eyre. It just wasn't happening for me. Atonement got off to an amazing start, but then became rather predictable and I had to skim through the rest. Surfacing, also, was a let down. I have read and loved most Atwood novels, ...

So many things you could read. I'd recommend classics like Anne of Green Gables, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre. When I was your age I went into a big Thomas Hardy kick which may not be for everyone but I LOVED The Return of the Native. For more modern books I'd recommend The Book Thie ...

You know, ktleyed, I hadn't thought of it before but now that you mention it, I can see certain similarities to Jane Eyre in The Raven Prince. Certainly the set-up (with the hero as employer) evokes that a bit, but really it has more to do with the heroine's character, her desire to be ...

#166 - LA, how ironic! Two of my favorite books are Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre! Though I hated Wuthering Heights, I couldn't sympathize with a single character - I hated them all!

Jane Eyre is an old favourite though it took me an age to read, I'm hoping Wide Sargasso Sea will be easier as it was a written by a modern author, but I shall see :)

I'm chiming in re. wide Sargasso Sea. It is worth the read, particularly if you like the book Jane Eyre.

... for Hitchcock made it into a movie I've never seen :) Thanks for all the recommendations guys! I still haven't finished Jane Eyre (not for want of trying, just for want of time), but as soon as I do I'm going to make a decision. Anyone else willing to nudge?

While Wide Sargasso Sea is indeed a logical follow-up to Jane Eyre, a little time between the two would not be a bad thing. As cocoafiend has mentioned, it is the story of the 1st Mrs. Rochester from her point-of-view. An excellent read at any time. Another interesting follow-up to Jane Eyre ...

Mine is Anna Karenina. I was intimidated by it at first, but I loved it. Followed closely by Jane Eyre. I can't believe I made it through high school and college without reading it!

This has already been said, but Wide Sargasso Sea is a good follow-up to Jane Eyre. Lovely writing and an important addition to the story of "the madwoman in the attic" and the fairly marginal colonial theme of Jane Eyre. It is a very quick read, so I would second the suggestion to have a go ...

... Guilt by John Lescroart House of Cards by Michael Dobbs In the Shadow of the Law by Kermit Roosevelt jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

I read Wide Sargasso Sea years ago for an English class about post-colonial literature and I only read Jane Eyre this year. I found the book easy to read but I didn't like the story that much. I really really liked The Corrections so I will give that one a nudge.

Well, the only one I've read is Wide Sargasso Sea, and since you're reading Jane Eyre, I think it's a natural follow up. Do be aware however that the tone of the work is very different from Bronte. Many of the other books are in my TBR pile, so if you read anything good, please report back.

Well, obviously, the follow-up to Jane Eyre should be The Wide Sargasso Sea (it's Bertha's story). But if you've never read The Invisible Man, you really must. It's a classic novel about race in America--good post-election reading.

... by Jeffrey Eugenides The Rest of Her Life by Laura Moriarty I'll finish by telling you I'm currently reading Jane Eyre (sadly for the first time, what was wrong with me? I was an Austen snob evidently), so I thought the Rhys would be a good followup, but maybe you have suggestions. ...

I can second both Jane Eyre and Georgette Heyer. If she really likes Austen, she might also enjoy Pamela Aidan's retelling of Pride and Prejudice from Mr. Darcy's point of view. It's quite well done -- I think it's among the best of the Austen pastiche novels, at least those I've read. It's a ...

I read Jane Eyre at about age 12 and couldn't put it down. I've re-read it since then, and it holds up well.

... Prejudice, The Old Man and the Sea, Slaughter-house Five, Alas, Babylon and The Catcher in the Rye. I also re-read Jane Eyre.

After finishing Jane Eyre (why has it taken me so long to get to reading it?), I went for something completely different and read The Ghost Writer by Philip Roth. For some reason I ended up with 3 Roth books on the TBR - while I find his work interesting I'm not a huge fan - I guess the ...

I'm STILL reading Jane Eyre.. only 2 chapters to go though, so hopefully I'll be finished with it tonight. I've been reading it in spurts.. there are parts of the book that really drag for me, and others that I'm just blowing through. I'm also reading Looking For Alaska by John Green when I ...

... iew. But if "Mists" is too dopey (I've seen the mini-series, which is sumptuous and a bit vacuous), I've got a re-read of Jane Eyre and Northanger Abbey on tap.

... both Native Americans and European settlers. America: A Narrative History by George Brown Tindall Sorry, but Jane Eyre was too far away to reach!

64. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte This was the third time I'd tried to read this book, and thank heavens it was for school this time because I was missing out. No more novels for my Great Love Stories class!!

... some people don't think re-reading books should count, but I read every word, so I think it counts. My book group read Jane Eyre last month, and we picked this book as a companion. Some members didn't like it at all and didn't even finish it. I'll admit it's probably not a book for ...

Currently reading Jane Eyre and having trouble finding time to finish it.. I'm so close! I'm also about halfway through the e-book version of Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut.

106. Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte Reminded me a lot of Jane Eyre, a woman who wants to become a teacher, falls in and out of love, lives a hard life only to find fulfillment with her family. 107. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini What I thought was an amazing movie is also an amazing ...

... be a little bit careful on the Brontës. Maybe you can tell from my LT handle that my favorite novel happens to be Jane Eyre, but if you're going to recommend it, make sure you steer the reader toward an edition with good footnoting, because some of the dialog involving Adèle Varens is ...

... at her book The Goose girl. I second Mary Stewart's books and the Travelling Pants series. Also, at your age I loved Jane Eyre, A Girl of the Limberlost, To Kill a Mockingbird, Anne of Green Gables and all its sequels.

... and am still picky about them now), then three of my favorites are Les Miserables, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Jane Eyre. EDIT: Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series is also good, and I've also really enjoyed reading Cornelia Funke's work.

At 13 I went through a big Bronte phase espcially loved Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights seemed to either completely miss all the dark bits or blocked them from my mind, but I also loved the Sweet Valley High books and Cheerleaders series mainly cause it was the complete opposite of my Comprehens ...

... plan to finish the book. I'm also re-reading The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde for one of my book groups. We read Jane Eyre last month, and decided to follow-up with this one. It's just as good the second time. For a philosophy class I'm taking, I'm reading Plato's Symposium. The ...

Normally, I would nudge Jane Eyre first if you haven't read it. However, something tells me that I Claudius should be the number one nudge. Anna Karenina is always a good choice. Rebecca and the Year of Wonders are nice three-star books. I've tried to get into the whole Mists of Avalo ...

Quite a few great books here. I'd certainly nudge Jane Eyre, Year of Wonders, Anna Karenina, Rebecca, even The Mists of Avalon - all terrific books but, if that's the sort of thing you like I'm sure you'd absolutely love The Crimson Petal! Onf of the best books in the world by one of ...

Anna Karenina if I have to pick just one; Jane Eyre and Rebecca if I'm allowed more!

Jane Eyre could even now, at Twilight, see the star of the morning. What a great and terrible beauty it was to behold!

My next book is Jane Eyer. *Edited to fix touchstone

I started Jane Eyre over the weekend and I'm really enjoying it. I can't believe I waited so long to read it. I'm also reading Love, Stargirl for something lighter.

For your classics, Anna Karenina if you want to disappear for a while, but Jane Eyre is a must read also. For your other: Year of Wonders or Rebecca.

Absolutely Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre, definitely. 2nd place nudge would be Rebecca. There are some really interesting comparisons between the two. Some thing Rebecca is a modern retelling of Jane Eyre.

Well, like the others, I've read most of this pile:-) I've read Jane Eyre and several of the Austens more than once, but the book I'm going to nudge, also read several times, is The Count of Monte Cristo.

I would nudge two books off your list: Jane Eyre and The Mists of Avalon. Jane Eyre I only read this year myself but I'm really glad I did. First it's a great story to read. Secondly there are quite a few books that refer to Jane Eye in pop. lit. such as The Thirteenth Tale so it's good ...

Jude the Obscure is a bit melodramatic, but I love it nonetheless. It's my favorite Hardy novel. I'd also nudge Jane Eyre, Persuasion, and The House of Mirth.

... Nighttime by Mark Haddon and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak And of the classics, personally I'd go with Dracula, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.

... short time). And I love the period. Heyer is the best modern writer for regnancy fiction. But I also love to reread Jane Eyre. (Really written in that period.)
