JudyB Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Difficult one as they are all good reads - I think though that Wuthering Heights is probably my favourite out of those. It's so moody, the characters are so self-destructive (which I found frustrating) and I always have very strong images of it in my mind. Quote
Weave Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 I finished 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte, I am so proud of myself! Quote
Kell Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Did you enjoy Jane Eyre, Paula? I loved that one. I'm very pleased to have read it and I think I'll most likely read it again at some point in the future. Quote

I'm very pleased to have read it and I think I'll most likely read it again at some point in the future. I loved it Kell, it did take me awhile to get into it, but once I did I just thought it was a lovely book and Jane was a great character, very aware of flaws, etc, which I admit annoyed me at times because she was so much more than what she thought she was. And the end!! oh I am just gushing now.. Quote
Kell Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 And the end!! oh I am just gushing now..Have you read The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde? If you haven't, you really should! Now that you've read Jane Eyre, you'll REALLY get all the ins and outs, and all the little references to the novel. I think you'll love it! Quote

Funny you should say that, my friend is sending me her copy, I am looking forward to reading it. x Quote
Weave Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 I finished 'Wuthering Heights', it sounds silly but I am really proud of myself, this time last year I would never have thought of reading a classic x I just started reading 'A Room with a View' by E.M. Forster:D Quote
Kell Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Hey! I'm about to start listening to an audio book of A Room With a View! I'll look forward to hearing what you think of it. Quote
Weave Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 I hope you enjoy it Kell, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it as well. x:D Quote
Weave Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 I really enjoyed 'A Room with a View', it was such a lovely read, the way it was written, I recommend it highly. Quote
Kell Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 You finished it already? I've only finished chapter 2! Right enough I'm listening to it on my iPod while I walk to and from work, but crikey! You must have been going like the clappers! Quote

Its not a very big book and I was off work the last two days so I was reading all the time. Quote
