I did love <i>Jane Eyre</i>, though. <br /><br />I would like to make my way through the Sherlock Holmes books eventually--but I keep picking up other books instead! Maybe one of these days I'll actually pick <i>them</i> up.<br /><br />Good luck with <i>Bleak House</i>. I haven't read that one yet, but I did see the BBC adaptation a few years back, which was wonderful. Hopefully if you keep persevering the story will draw you in and it won't feel so much of a slog.amandahttp://simplerpastimes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-73193053789444509802010-08-22T17:05:45.090-04:002010-08-22T17:05:45.090-04:00I'm read The Catcher in the Rye right now!
