It's Monday. What are you reading? 22 August 2011

It's Monday. What are you Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey to outline what you have been reading and what you plan to read this week.










Bossypants. Tina FeyJane Eyre (Penguin Classics) By Charlotte BrontëHmm. What am I reading?! Well actually pretty much what I was reading last week. Shocking aye?! Well there is a reason for that really. I am in the middle of reading Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte) for my 100 book challenge and lets be honest you really can't rush Jane Eyre. I can't help but find myself re-reading passages and flipping to and from the notes section of the book (which I am very thankful for as there is quite a lot of French in this book and I'm very pleased there are translations for me). But so far I am loving it!

Also I'm almost finished Bossypants which I'm listening to as an audio book on the bus on my way into work in the mornings so I'll have a review up for that one within the next couple of days.

    I re-read Jane Eyre this year and I totally agree - you cannot rush Charlotte Bronte at all.

    Hope you have a great week!

    Isn't it great that you're savouring Jane Eyre? That's about quality, not quantity. Have fun with the book!

    I just realized there is a new Jane Eyre movie out. I love the book which makes me almost afraid to watch the movie.

    I loved Jane Eyre, and keep hoping to revisit it sometime. As for Bossypants, I've heard it's hilarious! I need to pick that on audio!

    When you're done with Jane Eyre, I recommend reading Jane Bites Back. There's some tongue and cheek rivalry between Bronte and Austen in it.

    The best book I read last week was Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder. Please come see what I finished and what's up next.
