Book Club went with a classic and attendance was great. We had a couple English Lit. teachers and a Canadian that has visited Charlotte Bronte's home in England. There was a special Bronte table cloth and special cut-outs in our napkins, fruit, cookies, and a tart - just like having English tea.
I had read Jane Eyre in high school (on my own, not assigned) and loved it. When I reread it, I could only remember the burning of the curtains, and the insane wife. I didn't remember about Jane's childhood, the orphanage, her life after Rochester, or how the book ended! I loved the book all over again. I was also very impressed with myself as a teenager. It wasn't a light read.
