Still reading Jane Eyre

[elusivek]

This book is tough. I’m currently around 50% into the book, and while I like the book and want to read on, there are many social references that I just can’t grasp. The sudden French appearing too! I am so glad that I had learnt French at some point in my life: although I’ve forgotten the language, reading small snippets in the language didn’t leave me totally lost either. I think myself fortunate.

As interesting as the book is, the kind of English used simply gives me the headaches. I have therefore decided to give the book a little break, and read a couple of sample books for now.
