Words escape most of us, which is probably why we so often turn to the poets and lyricists of the world to give voice to our feelings. Color and poetry abound in this jewel of a book, along with the poetry of Wang Wei, William Shakespeare, Marianne Moore, ee cummings, Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Frost. To give or to get (or both?): that is the question.

While normally being forced to read books leads to me overall disliking them, I enjoyed this one.

Hypocrites and blackguards abound. But it has themes of redemption as well and some truly sympathetic characters along his trademark comic ones.

But I love the book perhaps just a little more, for the reason that it took great courage for Charlotte Bronte to attempt to get this published. The industry didn't take to women writing at the time...so she had to publish the book under an androgynous pseudonym. And it's awesome. Timelessly transporting. Jane may be my favorite heroine of all time.

This is tied with Sense and Sensibility for all-time fave. The best Pride and Prejudice film rendition. And Colin Firth is hot in this. heh

I'm a huge sucker for period dramas. I loved the book. This is the best adaption I've seen.
