to go with jane eyre, you should read wide sargasso sea by jean rhys. it's from bertha's point of view. i have it somewhere... funny, as soon as i finish rereading a heartbreaking work of staggering genius, i am planning to read love in the time of cholera.
Yeah, I was iffy on it. It's supposed to be fiction but doesn't read like it. I didn't agree with some of his views at all, and he seemed to contradict himself a little. But when he'd just stop ranting and talk about nature, it was lovely. I wish there was more of that. And there were a few lines that made me laugh a lot...mostly: "I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced."
Anyway...this was a way too long rant that I could've summed up by saying: I'm a Kerouac-person, not a Thoreau-person.
