Book & Review Forums: Jane Eyre
One of the BEST
Almost everything that I read was written before I (or probably my mother) was born. A lot of times, I'll forget the plot of a story when I am questioned. My typical confusion will find me unable to recant the cast of characters in a long ago read novel like Wuthering Heights. Or I will find myself unable to remember the specific differences between Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice OR David Copperfield and Great Expectations. But I will never in my life forget every detail of Jane Eyre. I remember walking through the train terminal with that book in my hand and sneaking away from my desk at work to read another few sentences. But most of all, I remember the chilling wedding scene. I loved this book.

Hi, Edith:
Really enjoyed reading your comments....I feel the same about Jane Eyre....one of those all time 'rare' never forget favorites of mine.
I'm a big fan of Edith Wharton, House Of Mirth...though the ending was a bit disappointing for me.
Would love to know if you have read it and your thoughts?Feb 8, 2009 6:20 pm

I've just signed up...all confused about how to post....list the books I've read and want to read...ect.
just finished This Side Of Paradise by F. Scott
Would LOVE to know if anyone has read The Beautiful And The Damned by F. Scott?
That ending! It was a depressing story and I felt disappointed in the ending....it was implausible...made no sense and would like to know if I am missing out on some deepr and 'very obscure' meaning to that ending which I am apparently just not sharp enough to figure out?
I need help Edith....since she's one of my all time favorite authors...I'm drawn to your name for some advice?
Amber.

I just started the book, I had been thinking and reading the forums for the next book and decided on Jane Eyre.
Had been thinking about the Three Musketeers which I read a long time ago and really don't remember much about.. but your comments swayed me. :)Feb 8, 2009 8:07 pm

WooHoo! Finished Jane Eyre last evening... Really good, other then a few places where it was a bit boggy, I enjoyed it.

Hi Amber- I loved The House of Mirth as well BUT not my favorite of hers. I loved Custom of the Country and the short stories in Old New York. As for F.Scott, should I read The Damned. I think that I have only read The Great Gatsby. I am new to this forum as well but like it a lot
