Jane Eyre

I have never been much of a reader (or been referred to as feminist)...so the fact that I haven't read Jane Eyre doesn't really come as much of a surprise.  I have seen Pride and Prejudice more than once and always get who wrote what a little mixed up in my head.  Well, not anymore.  Seems pretty tame these days, but what would I have thought in the 1800's...steamy stuff...that's what!!  And, she still blows Belle out of the water (Don't get me started on how I feel about Twilight)...Jane Eyre is a strong, smart, moral and interesting character.  Maybe I really should start reading more, thank God for well made movies!  And, the hot guy from Inglorious Bastards was the cherry on top.
ps. I am super grateful to not be living in a drafty stone estate where 1/2 of my siblings die from Typhus or Tuberculosis...that and thanks to feminists I can pretty much do whatever I want with my best friend on a Friday night!
