My admiration for “Jane Eyre” a novel by Charlotte Brontë
Jane Eyre, a novel written by Charlotte Brontë. I must confess I utterly fell in love not only with the leading character but all the more with the author herself. Charlotte has written a novel that would become one of the most famous romance novels of all time. Although I have seen movie adaptations of Jane Eyre, I did not fully realize then how beautifully the novel was composed until I read it in its entirety with the convenience of my prized Kindle.

My Take on “Paradise Lost”
“Paradise Lost” an epic poem by the English poet John Milton, A book bought from a quaint antique shop in Hunstanton. Chipped as it was still I gratefully and frenziedly acquired, Voluminous 1883 edition, to read it more time is required. A book widely popular among scholars many have told me, Reluctantly it took me ages to finally learn and see, Read that book “Paradise Lost”; it is a treat to behold. Take time to grasp its intended gist for what it foretold. So much to learn from this centuries-old literary piece, First published in 1667 hailed as Milton’s masterpiece. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the “Fall of…
