I only read Jane Eyre a few years ago after reading The Eyre Affair in which the ending of Jane Eyre is a big deal.
Time is limited in a school year so there's only so many longer works they can cover. I remember reading A Tale of Two Cities, Silas Marner, and The Scarlet Letter plus a few books from a list that we had to do a report on but didn't discuss in class. The Scarlet Letter was the only one I didn't care for.
We did a Shakespeare almost every year in high school but they aren't really that long. I've read most of his tragedies and comedies since school.
