This week I'm sharing two sentences from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. This is my first time reading this classic novel and I'm really enjoying it.
This wa a demoniac laugh-low, suppressed, and deep-uttered, as it seemed, at the very key-hole of my chamber-door. The head of my bed was near the door, and I thought at first, the goblin-laugher stood at my bedside-or rather, crouched by my pillow; but I rose, looked round, and could see nothing; while, as I still gazed, the unnatural sound was reiterated; and I knew it came from behind the panels. ~ page 113
Great teaser! It's been decades since I read this but I want to again.
ReplyDeleteNo one could write those sentences like a Bronte. Certainly makes you sit up and pay attention.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your book.
here is mine
Wow, if I had a "goblin-laugher" crouching by my pillow, I don't think I'd be springing up to look for it! But then Jane Eyre was very plucky. Great teasers!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this book! My favorite among all Bronte books! I hope you're enjoying it too!

ReplyDeleteoooohhh, good quote. I love this book. Sharon Shinn also has a Sci-Fi novel based on the themes from Jane Eyre. It's really good if you like Sci-Fi, it's called Jenna Starborn

ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser.
I hope that you enjoy reading this wonderful book. I read it as an adult and just loved it. For me, I like it more than Pride & Prejudice! It's such a rich novel.

I'm reading Jane Eyre, too! It seems to be the season for this book...many women are reading it now for the first time or rereading it for the tenth. I'm on the 18th chapter and loving every sentence. Of course, I have my dictionary nearby for those big words Charlotte loves to use. That's okay, though, it helps me expand my vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteAre you enjoying it? I think it's wonderful..
Nice blog and very enjoyable to read. Glad I stopped by!
