I've been wanting to read more of the classic books so I decided that now would be a good time to start. "Jane Eyre" was sitting on top and that looked like a good place to start.
What a great book. I've only got a few chapters left but it was a delight to read--and I was fearful that it would be a slog. It's basically a Gothic romance with a strong-willed heroine. The writing is lovely, flowing and flowery without being cumbersome. I can't wait to rent the old Hollywood movie with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles.
