As someone who didn't read Wrinkle in Time as a child and thus didn't like it as an adult, would I like the movie? I also couldn't finish Ready Player One and have no desire to see the movie.

Facebook and Goodreads have drained some of the time I used to devote to it, but I miss it and miss interacting with readers! I recommend reading Villette in November, which is a good month to read Brontes! Janet, I want to get back into a rhythm of blogging again.

Both Jane and Villette are masterful, and I wouldn't wish for a world in which I had to pic just one. Can’t books be like children–each has its strengths?

Like reading one of Antoinette's dreams. I look forward to reading Antoinette/Bertha's scenes in Jane Eyre w/ Wide Sargasso Sea fresh in mind, and from Antoinette's p.o.v.

Bronte was an unworldly woman trying to write a worldly man, working to make it more than a simple Cinderella story. Rhys had been around the block, and her portrait of Rochester is one of a much more believable, complicated man, embittered by the injustices, both real and imagined, he's suffered. It's easier to forgive the Rochester of Jane Eyre, but Rhys doesn't give the reader that easy out. I think it’s also interesting to contrast Rhys’ Rochester with Bronte’s.
