This skinny, little tramp, Jane Eyre, is kicking my butt. I will be back after I finish reading her 681 page tale of falling in love with that dolt, Rochester.
For those of you who have stopped over wondering where I've gone, She has me in a stranglehold.
When I've picked myself up and dusted myself off, I will start blogging and hopping all over again.
Was wondering where you'd been, Belle. Sorry to hear that the skinny little bint is kicking your bum. The last time I read Jane Eyre was in grad school, and I confess I did love the book. But I loathed Rochester.
I am a career woman, a student in pursuit of an English Lit degree, wife of a young-at-heart middle-aged man, mother to two middle school boys practicing the fine art of balancing it all.
I tried her recently and struggled. I will have to try again some day but for now, I've given up.
ReplyDeleteBlah, I didn't like Jane Eyre at all. Good luck to you!

ReplyDeleteI ended up loving Jane Eyre, but it did take me a little while to get through! Glad to know what you've been up to. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you're struggling through. I love Jane Eyre because I think she stayed true to herself even with a boob like Rochester. So many women don't.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same. Hmmm... I definitely want to know more about this situation you have found yourself in ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved Jane Eyre, I had no trouble getting through it (although I read it over the course of a week while I was on bed rest!). Good luck!

She's addictive isn't she?!
ReplyDeleteI love JANE EYRE. One of my favorite books of all time. She's a keeper. Or maybe, I should say, Rochester's a keeper. ;)
ReplyDeleteHe's a dolt, but a magnificent dolt.
I've never read this one, I want to though. It's actually waiting on my shelf to be read.
