I read and reread Jane Eyre so many times as an adolescent that I'm not sure I'll give it another go, although it would undoubtedly be interesting to read it from the perspective of maturity. I can probably remember it well enough to discuss it.

I'd love to see Ali and Nino picked, but the ebook is eye-poppingly pricey (cheap options in paper). I plan to read it in any case and thanks to HIMS for the nomination, as I'd never heard of it.
I found that one during last year's geography challenge. I didn't get to it last year, but it is on my short list for more countries this year. I'll be reading it some time soon, but I'll hit the library for it. I'm not fussy between paper and ebook.

My advice is not to read something like Jane Eyre not because others do. Read it because it interests you.

Thank you for the advise JSWolf, I agree that we shouldn't just listen to what other people want, because you have to find most answers out on your own. I did, I finally have it and got to read the first chapter, and so far I like it. I'd stop myself there. In case it wins the poll. Hahaha.

There are also several movie versions of the story, some as late as the 1990's (the latest was in 2011), so while it may be an old story certainly someone must have seen potential in it as yet. I count 10 versions listed over at IMDB.

Maybe but Pride and Prejudice has been remade several times as well. As has Little Women and Little Lord Fauntleroy.

I agree. Jennifer Ehle is pretty good too. The 1980 series is highly admired as well.

I think I'll vote for Never Let Me Go. I just purchased it and I absolutely loved Remains of the Day.

I think regardless of the vote I'll read this one.

I know what you mean. I'm still amazed by how much I can do on my new Kindle fire tablet. It's so compact and yet has so much ability as well.

There are! I haven't seen them, but I really like Michael Fassbender and I just learned that he's actually one of the actors in the gothic version. Although as far as reviews tell me, the Mini-Series is the best (can't say for sure. Have to finish the book first before the movies. Haha)
