Jane Eyre

I alternated between reading on kindle and audiobook. I had access to more than one audiobook with my Audible membership and I couldn't get the right kindle book edition that would sync with the audiobook narrator I preferred. I preferred the narration by Thandie Newton. But the narration by Susan Ericksen was not bad. I just preferred the more animated voices from Thandie Newton. I do wish Amazon/Audible would make their system work better. I can always find the match if I go from Kindle to Audiobook, but going from Audiobook to kindle is more difficult, especially for old books where there are so many kindle editions.

I did not expect the ending. I really thought it was going to end with a moralized Christian ending. I was glad that it didn't.

I also was amused that there was a line by a man who was trying to convince Jane that God had told him that she was going to be his wife and that was what God had ordained.

I went back and reread the chapter in Karen Swallow Prior's book about great literature Booked on Jane Eyre after I was done. Prior has an introductory essay on Jane Eyre in her series of classics that I want to pick up at some point.

I do need to keep reading old books.
