It's one of those books that just make my eyes glaze over.<BR/><BR/>But this does make me think that it might be fun to start a knitting blog reading group! I totally would have read it along with you, if I'd had the lead time.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I just now discovered that bloglines dropped your feed. So it's not that I've been ignoring your blog for the last two months. *sheepish*Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010491447594113630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22475853.post-10527407444117143742007-04-25T21:42:00.000-07:002007-04-25T21:42:00.000-07:00Okay.

If Jane had succumbed to his entreaties, St. John Rivers would have carved out her heart and eaten it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti, whilst simultaneously entertaining his sisters with read-aloud versions of Pilgrim's Progress. (Was that written at that time? I think so, but I'm not sure.) Then he would have donned his hair shirt, sailed off to The Dark Continent, and never been heard from again. The ending to Jane Eyre would have been somewhat different than originally written -- although no less inspirational -- and it would not be the romantic classic that it has become.<BR/><BR/>Clearly I was neither an English nor a comparative literature major. They just don't teach that stuff in b-school :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
