I am sure most of you know by now how much I like Jane Eyre-which is not much. I won't bore you with a repeat of the details- I am completely comfortable in standing by myself on this. However, I am planning on seeing the new movie. Amanda has expressed a desire to go when she gets back from China and I hope we can put together a group outing. To get us all thinking about it, here is a quote from a recent review of the film:
"To be sure, the dark hero of the story, Rochester, is not a vampire, but that’s only a technicality."
Hee Hee....I could not have said it better myself!! The review goes on to make the movie sound pretty great. I am looking forward to it. For the rest of the review-Jane Eyre Plumbs the Gothic Depths, by Roger Ebert- click here:

I want to come..Jane Eyre is my favorite book...I have read it every year at least once since I was 15. I have quoted it in at least 3 talks/firesides. For Mother's Day, I think I'm going to ask for a t-shirt that says, "I know what Grace Poole does in the attic." Count me in!
