I have finished reading Jane Eyre. It seemed to me to end a bit abruptly, but it was a pretty good read, I'll say. Rochester is a bit of a douche bag, though not nearly as much as St. John. It tends to drag a bit, though I did really like the first part of the novel, before Jane grew up. I enjoyed Charlotte Bronte's writing--she has a very poetic style. I don't know that I really have that much to say (write) about it though. I've been reading a few academic articles about it, but after that I'm not sure what I want to read at work next. This is where you come in, dear readers. Please help me decide what to set upon next by voting. Here are some options.
Reading at work:
Persuasion by Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
The Sea-Gull by Anton Chekhov
anything by Charles Dickens
Middlemarch by George Eliot
something by Henry James
Ulysses by James Joyce
something by Edgar Allan Poe
anything by Mark Twain
anything by Jules Verne
something by Edith Wharton
something by Virginia Woolf
Stay tuned to vote on what I should read next in the at-home category!

I thought the whole St. John part of JE was bo-ring. Whew.
I'm going to go ahead and say Persuasion, but I've never read S&S and I hear that's pretty good. I can't really comment on the rest of them.
Connecticut Yankee in King Arther's Court by Twain is a good read.
