JudyB Posted October 23, 2007 Share 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.

Kell Posted October 31, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted October 31, 2007 Share 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!

Weave Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted November 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
