THERE'S A GAP IN MY LITERARY EDUCATION
August 11, 2011
I HAVE a confession. I have never read Jane Eyre. I haven't read Pride and Prejudice. No Bronte, no Austen. It's true. I am a neanderthal. Even worse, before I go and see the movie (one of drillions I've never seen) I thought I'd cheat and read the abridged version Sophie sent me. Or maybe I'll just see the movie. It must be good. Alisa's busting for it.
And, if the 1970s illustrations in my Reader's Digest are anything to go by, it's going to be a bodice ripper.
Ah, yes. Another confession. That is another pair of op-shopped Jonathan Sceats frames. $3 from the Salvos, thank you very much.
