Jane Eyre down at last

After a marathon six hour reading session last night, I have finally finished Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and can move on the letter C in my classic literature reading series. I started reading Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage this morning and since it is only 100 pages I'm sure I'll be moving on to James Fennimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans tomorrow.

Jane Eyre was a bit of a drag compared to the nimble style of Jane Austin's Pride and Predudice. I found Charlotte Bronte's dialogue a little tedious and unnecessary in parts. The story in itself is interesting and clever but I couldn't wait to finish it.

  1. Wow, i'm jealous. When I was a teenager I used to have constant multihour (sometimes alldayer) reading sessions. I just don't seem to have the time theses days. But saying that I did manage it last year and read the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman virtually in one sitting. I'd be interested in what you make of the "Last of the mohicans".
