In the context of other 19th century novels, such as those of Dickens, Trollope, George Eliot, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Balzac and so on,
Jane Eyre is a quick read. It was a selection in the old MRBC, IIRC, so you could always post in the discussion thread once you’ve read it. As for your other point, given that you don’t even hang on to major plot points of books you’ve read, I can’t see that it would be difficult to forget anything you inadvertently run across before you stop reading a comment about a book you haven’t read and
plan to read - especially if you’re not going to pick it up tomorrow, say, or at least this week.
