... that I've read before. My daughter and I spend a lot of time in the car so audiobooks come in handy. We recently finished Jane Eyre (read in a so-so manner by Juliet Mills) and we're now listening to To Kill A Mockingbird read spectacularly by Sissy Spacek. >21 avaland
You were right I gave Little Women, Jane Eyre, and Angela's Ashes, to my sister and thanks to the "Friends of the Library Sale" 16 books came into my house. #68 Thanks! I'm going to the library tomorrow and will do just that! BTW, I read Jane Eyre about a year ago, would you believe in preparation for reading The Eyre Affair?!? So that wasn't the problem the first time I tried to listen to it. I'm now looking forward to listening to Lost in a ... ... a couple of months or so ago and absolutely hated it! To tell the truth, I don't know what changed. Oh, yeah, I had read Jane Eyre before I tried listening to The Eyre Affair the first time, so that wasn't it. Perhaps it was simply my mood, but the first time I found the reader annoying, the ... ... so funny. I also admit that almost, they have inspired me to read a couple of the classic works by the Bronte sisters. (Jane Eyre is on my list - I have already read Wuthering Heights so don't have to do that one). I have a feeling that these books are so full of literary puns that if you ... ... my tertiary studies *finally*... Anyway I have knocked a few off the list this year:
Atonement by Ian McEwan
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Love of the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nineteen Eighty Four by Geor ... ... me wanting to go back and reacquaint myself with much of English literature (Mrs. Haversham, e.g.) although I imprinted on Jane Eyre as a teenager. Jenna Starborn is a fairly straight science fiction retelling of it as well. The book that I sought out to read after reading a current book was ... The Eyre Affair inspired me to struggle through Jane Eyre. Generally though unless the author has included an Afterword (which I don't always read) I won't even know that there is a classic background to the work. I'll never read the inspiration first even if I do know, but am sometimes curious ... ... of Tyranny in the War on Terror.
Currently reading Kristin Lavransdatter with the Reading Group here at LT, and Jane Eyre for the first time (*sniffle*). ... the attempt :-). Currently on the pile are North and South and Kristin Lavransdatter and I will probably get round to Jane Eyre sometime this year.

#51 Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte
This was for school (women's lit) and I loved it. I wanted to kill Rochester before the first wedding because he was sickeningly in love, but then later I was so excited when they reunited!
My bedside table/backpack: ... Hi
Thanks for your post and the references to Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, I'm currently reading an interesting book by Bettina Knapp The Brontes, Branwell, Anne, Emily, Charlotte I'm learning more about this very interesting, intelligen family. ... to resolve. But an interesting and worthwhile introduction, I think, to a new author. And readable. While I very much enjoy Jane Eyre and Heyer and Jane Austen, I must disclose that I really did not enjoy Mr. Norrell and Jonathan Strange even though I expected to--it never engaged me and I ... ... have only one question for the author (watch out, spoiler!):
Why did the cat have to die in such a horrible way?
5. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 410 p.
Loved it! And I only read it because I want some background information before I read The Eyre Affair. I know that Jane Eyre is written in first person. The Affair by C P Snow
A Scots Quair by Lewis Grassic Gibbon
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
What Not to Wear by Trinny Woodall & Susannah Considine
The Silver Chair by C S Lewis Have you seen the A&E version of Jane Eyre? To me, it is the best yet. Of the six or more versions of the book on file and video, do you have a favorite?
And, I enjoy reading your comments and thoughts. Thanks!
Linda ...
Sigh. It's what makes for discussion. I did pass the book on to a friend for her assessment, and she hasn't read Jane Eyre, so it should be interesting. ... Sea by Jean Rhys
I liked the style; I liked the story by itself; and I'm kind of annoyed about the hype and link to Jane Eyre. After reading about Rhys's rationale for writing this story (she wasn't happy with Ms. Bronte's depiction of Mr. Rochester's West Indian bride), I expected ... ... (I like to see how plays stand on their own without my personal impressions of it coloring my opinion of the show)

3. The Castle of Otranto - from Penguin Classic's "100 Books You Must Read Before You Die". I'm trying to work my way through the list, mostly because ... ... I'd update with what the list actually ended up being:

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Daisy M ... cerievans1. Jane Eyre is one of my top three all-time favorite books. I'm curious to hear what you think about it when you are finished.
And, I need to move The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie further up on my tbr pile.
I love Jane Eyre too... but lately it seems I've been reading more *about* it than actually reading the book itself - like in The Eyre Affair. Definitely worth a revisit sometime!
wookiebender, I've managed to read Wide Sargasso without too much hindrance from the original, although it did ... ... APEC.
It's one of those terribly atmospheric novels, and a very interesting background to an old favourite of mine, Jane Eyre. But I spent most of the novel trying to work out how it was going to fit into JE, so I wish I had time to re-read it now without that distraction! I've since ... In no particular order:-

4. The Pickwick Papers and it says much about the genius of Dickens that I can so love both his early riotous romp and his later, greater, masterpiece
5. Moby Dick A book I loathed for years and failed miserably to complete, ... Touchstones not working properly for The Italian. I'm finishing up Jane Eyre, with The Wide Sargasso Sea following behind (although I generally don't like depressing books, so I'm plodding through a bit). And I just started The Castle of Otranto, which is really interesting. May I second Wide Sargasso Sea and Jean Rhys in general? I was a bit disappointed by Jane Eyre when I first read it and this gave the book a whole new depth for me (although this was also aided by growing up - I first read Jane Eyre when I was 9 or 10 and I think some of it was a bit ... ... first Tolstoy? Was it your first read of War and Peace? It's on my list to read but don't know when I'll get to it.
Jane Eyre is one of my favorites; an early read for me when I was in high school. Just this year I read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Ryhs which is a new take on the Eyre ... Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Because they're classics written by women. I'm sorely lacking in having read classics by women. Or classics altogether, but I feel guiltier about these for some reason.
Anna Karenina ... ... if there's anything you want help with...We tend to recommend things to each other as we go in this group.
If you liked Jane Eyre, you may like Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. It's a comic mystery/fantasy with lots of references to classic literature. ... Peace by Leo Tolstoy
2) Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
3) Looking for Alaska by Peter Jenkins
4) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Yes, I won't let Mr TQD read them until he's read Jane Eyre first. He did (sort of) watch the recent TV adaptation with me the other month, so that might be enough... But I think this might be a book series that just won't be shared, he's just too much into his sci-fi/fantasy and never reads "lite ... ... forgotten just how funny this book is.
Jumper - a read inspired by the movie. Interesting sci-fi and I enjoyed it.
Jane Eyre - I was inspired to re-read this because of The Eyre Affair. I first read this in Jr. High (which was over 20 years ago) so it was almost like reading it for ... #37 ZanKnits
Are you studying music?
I've loved Jane Eyre since 8th grade and have worn out multiple copies. It was one of my "comfort" books when I was in college. I'm almost done with Jane Eyre (for...the fourtieth or so time. Does it still count?). I'm a chapter into Gut Symmetries, which I'm loving, and I'm about to start One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Now that I'm back in New York City and obscenely close to Strand, I bought Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Gut Symmetries by Jeanette Winterson. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books, and I didn't take my copy with me when I moved into my dorm, so I ... Hey, it worked for Jane Eyre, right? ;) Jane Eyre lived Forever and a Day on her small Animal Farm near Middlemarch before she grew tired of the Petty Bourgeois ... - I would love to see a live version, and I would be interested to see if they play it as parody or tragedy. ***
