it's definitely slow going. i reread it over the course of a couple months which was honestly pretty ideal
It contains a lot of extense and incredibly well-depicted descriptions that, even to the most avid reader of the 21st century, it provokes a little shock due to the difference in today´s writing style.

I just bought this for $5 because it was it the clearance section as it is 'old'. Shame.

Really true. As years pass, I think back on this book more and more. It's eternal for sure, I may need to revisit it again.

i reread it very slowly in bits and pieces over a few months and it was really an excellent experience. 10/10 would recommend
Jane eyre is and always will be phenomenal. The first time I read it, it actually only took me a couple days as I thought the plot and characters were so compelling and rich. The fabulous thing about Jane is that she is a modern woman! She is strong and intelligent and knows what she wants and I absolutely adore her for that. She is just so real and it’s easy to empathize with her. This will always be an all time favorite. Also I agree- how is it possible to not like the classics? They’re classics for a reason!!!!
What would you recommend for someone first venturing into nineteenth century fiction?

Pride & Prejudice can be a good place to start, but still rocky - i think nineteenth-century children's books, like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Little Women, can be a great stepping stone. and also they are soso fun so it's a win win

lovelovelove this! the first time i read this i read it mostly in one day b/c it was just that good. which is why it was extra nice to take my sweet sweet time this time around
Jane Eyre actually was the first full English book that I've rest at about the age 14 / 15 yo (obviously English is 2nd/3rd language) ... So ..

that's very cool for you
Which 19th century literature would you recommend? (Read all Austen of course)
This isn't only my favourite classic but it's one of my all time favourite books. It's so much more than a romance story. Jane is so intelligent & fights for her independence, honestly such an iconic character. I need to re-read this soon!

Dracula is great. Sherlock Holmes is great. Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman are wonderful poets if you're into that. lotta great fairytale-y stuff happening with Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. and then obviously i lovelovelove alice's adventures in wonderland
