About a month ago, my sister introduced me to Jane. Ever since then, I've been obsessed with her. I read her at work everyday and she's taking me quite a while, but finally I'm almost done (she's a teacher in St. John Rivers' school right now) and my sister said the best part is coming up soon.
As an English major I feel as if I'm so behind on reading all the classic novels. I made a list of books I want to read ASAP.
Jane Eyre-Charlotte Bronte <3 <3
Emma-Jane Austen
Wuthering Heights-Emily Bronte
The Count of Monte Cristo-Alexandre Dumas
Animal Farm-George Orwell
Brave New World-Aldous Huxley
Frankenstein-Mary Shelley
Heart of Darkness-Joseph Conrad
The Invisible Man-HG Wells
Catch 22-Joseph Heller
A Tale of Two Cities-Charles Dickens
Notes from Underground-Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I started reading The Invisible Man last summer at work, but I left it there and couldn't find it the next time I went to work (who would take that book?) I also read a lot of Notes from Underground senior year in high school, but it was second semester and I don't remember any of it.
I definitely want to read more Charlotte Bronte and Virginia Woolf. Henry James? Not so much. I know it would be a good idea though.
