yeah, true. but if anyone ever sees the really old movie version of Jane Eyre, that is really called messing up the ending. I mean, I was soooo looking foward to the guy showing up with one hand and one eye, but .. pfftttt.

I know what you mean!
I love Jane Eyre though. One of my favorite books. ^____^

*pokes repeatedly* You should read it.....
It's a little hard to get into at first, but it's sooo good.

Does it have a very monotonic beginning, or too many flowery words?

Well, for one it's a 19th century british novel, so the style of writing is a little.... overwhelming if you're not used to it. It wasn't a problem for me because I'd been reading Jane Austen novels for years before I read it, but Charlotte Bronte's (The author of Jane Eyre) writing is somewhat....lengthy and drawn out.
I wouldn't call the beginning monotonic, but it is a mind-full. It starts out setting Jane's position from her childhood and moves on from there. But it does get interesting pretty quick.

*laughs* don't worry. I didn't read Jane Eyre until I was 13, but I'd already gone through most of Jane Austen's books by then.
I'm still a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice and Emma. ^___^
Ooh! Ooh! The new Pride and Prejudice movie is really good! I think the older version is truer to the book, but the new movie is pretty good too. ^________^

I'm more of a poetry fan myself. I like Edgar Allen Poe.

Poetry....I like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. And Shel Silverstein. And that's about it for poetry from me.

I don't like poetry that much. I find it more absorbing to read a story.

Favorite book, anyone?
I don't have any favorites. I love too many to pick one.

Hmmm.... I have a lot. At the moment, I love Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. I also love all of the Interview with a Vampire series by Anne Rice, and for newer literature I like James Patterson's When the Wind Blows.
