I seem to recall that you don’t like the “classics”. That is, I’m positive. The phrase “moldy oldies” comes to mind. So I’m wondering how enjoyable these books can be if you don’t get the literary references or if you didn’t enjoy the underlying works.

I was going to ask if you’d read Jane Eyre and then realized I could find out. No, apparently. At least you didn’t participate in the discussion.

I was charmed by this series but I don’t really get the point of reading it if you didn’t read and enjoy the classics it riffs on.
