Contrary to most reviewers of this same book, I have NOT read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Nor have I got some plans in reading it soon. Yes, I have a copy of the said literature, and is currently covered by 5 centimeters of dust- Okay, I exaggerate. I clean my shelf every once in a GREAT while, so the dust could be lesser.
