Reading #1
I'm currently four fifths through Jane Eyre and wanted to ask you literature-savvy flisters why this boring piece of crap lengthy non-story is supposed to be a classic? What is it I don't understand? (That is the standard reply to all the 1-star reviews on amazon.com: that the reviewer simply didn't "get" it and is too uneducated to understand classic literature. I confess I might be just that, seeing how I am interested in football and like the Die Hard movies, just like that one reviewer).
I can in part understand Jane but I want to throw away the book any time verbose Mr Rochester starts on one of his page-long speeches. He comes across completely arrogant and patronising while at the same time complaining about what life has dealt him, the poor, poor misunderstood guy.
Blergh.
Please, I really, really want to know why this is supposed to be an important book.
