I read Jane Eyre! I can’t believe I’d never read it but I hadn’t. Then immediately afterwards I read The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. It was good to have Jane Eyre so fresh in my mind.

I read "Mansfield Park." I say this as an avid Jane Austen fan, this was not worth it.

I read Jane Eyre for this prompt. I try to read at least 1 "classic" every year and I normally don't enjoy them that much, but Jane Eyre was one of the best classics I have ever read. It has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now and I'm glad that I finally read it!

I read "Pale Fire." I started reading Nabokov last year and saved this one for the end because it was supposed to be really difficult. I can't stop thinking about it, one of the best reading experiences I've ever had.

I read Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
