In August, we will be reading a book by Charlotte Bronte. The aim of the Book Club is to read and discuss new books together with other members.
Please try to avoid from voting for the books you have already read and/or do not intend to (re)read with us.
Thank you! :)

Though I did not like Jane Eyre immensely but it was not a bad read, on same places, it was quite interesting. Now, I think that I will love to try some other of her novels.
*excited*
Charlotte Bronte has always been one of my favorite authors. I have read Jane Eyre THOROUGHLY as it was included in my BA portion. I would love to read other works by her. I was planning to start The Professor after completing The Picture of Dorian Gray. So my vote goes to The Professor.
Jane Eyre slightly depressed me.
To say the least!Quote:

Even though I am really tempted to re-read Miss Eyre's adventures, I think I will vote for Shirley!
I may also, as long as Laverne is in there also.Quote:

I do find the books a bit depressing. The main characters are not the most cheerfull ones in the world. I will vote for the professor, as I haven't read that one.
I am already currently re-reading Jane Eyre, so I went with Shirley.
Hopefully "Laverne" will be there too. ;)
Errr I dont want the one based in belgium or wherever it was (Professor??) Im off to visit the bronte home (hopefully) some time in august so I want to go Oooooo and this is...... from such and such.:brow:apparntly You cant do that for Wutrhering heights in the summer :( :D
