I remember reading Jane Eyre when I was much younger.
I read it recently and had major issues with the character Mr. Rochester. | ||||

I haven't quite gotten to his character yet, but possibly will this weekend since I will have a decent amount of time between work shifts tomorrow to read. Either that or work on a craft project. Ehatever I decide to pack with me.
XP All I can say currently is that I so far like it although I am a little disappointed with how the beginning starts. Like, I understand that Jane was orphaned at a young age, but starting at kind of at the end of her time with her aunt and cousins with no mention of past events except to quickly gloss over them in explanations to people as necessary bothers me a little. Her youth gets fairly well skipped. But, at the same time that isn't the intended focus of the story I suppose, so it doesn't make sense to ramble on too long about it. Lol. On a positive note, I only need to finish 6 books this month to be back on pace.

I've seen bits and pieces of one of the films; enough to say I doubt I'm going to read the book, but there are parts I found interesting, which (I think) focus around Mr. Rochester.

@PurpleBox dude it doesn't matter when you start, what your goal is or what you read. E-books are books too just in a different format! And it doesn't even have to be books you're reading!

Re-reading a book is on my list! Haven't decided which, but I've still got to work through my purchased guys.

I re-read books all the time. At least 1 and possibly 2 of the books on my list are re-reads. (I have forgotten what I have for finished books currently.)

1:30am right now, and I suppose I should make more attempts to go to bed and actually try to be asleep before 4am rolls around. I'm not so good at that these days.
But, a couple days ago it was 6am so I am doing better! | ||||

That's in good part why I'm here, but it's also fun to just talk about books and such. I should read a little more today. I was making good progress on my fantasy novel but alas, I'm sucked back into online fanfiction and computer games again.

I think this thread is a great idea. My friend from Ernya started one there, and that is where I first starting posting when I joined Ernya. We will definitely do one in 2018!
