Book Discussion: Jane Eyre

Six months ago I thought Jane Eyre was a classic among classics. And then I kept stumbling across people talking about it here at LibraryThing. And then, I took a course were we discussed it in detail. In my eyes, not a simple classic anymore. And among members of the 1001 Books group, it is the 3rd most popular book. If you're into reading about Jane Eyre, you can do a LibraryThing search, or you can go directly to some of these threads. If anyone finds threads that I've missed, feel free to add them here. This can be a sort of Jane Eyre central, or Jane Eyre R Us.

There are more. Feel free to add to the list. And enjoy reading--and talking about--Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre certainly polarises opinions. Those that hate it, hate it with a passion. I checked out the other discussions you listed. For me JE is one of the few books I can reread each decade because the ambigious plot lends itself to so many interpretations. I must admit I find the gypsy scene ridiculous and the male characters a bit two dimensional.
