I know that people do, but I just don't get it. I do understand why people don't like Wuthering Heights (even though I love it) but what isn't to like about Jane Eyre?! I'm so glad you're going to give it a shot sometime. <br /><br />Karen Beth - Thanks for commenting!

It's mysterious in its own special way, and yet I never really think of it as a mystery until I'm in the thick of it and listening to Jane try to explain the creepy laugh in the corridors. It's so good!Karen Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17422002745008465008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-29464879685204560402009-08-27T16:43:13.912-04:002009-08-27T16:43:13.912-04:00I have not read Jane Eyre and have been kind of sc...I have not read Jane Eyre and have been kind of scared of it after several people told me they hated it.

If you can REALLY listen to it, then yes it can be just as effective as reading. But if you'll listen like I did, with only half your mind on it, then don't do it - you'll miss out on too much.Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-53104782312230964652009-08-26T10:04:07.948-04:002009-08-26T10:04:07.948-04:00I want to get to this one sooner than later.
