Although I haven't picked it up in 6 months, I'm just finally admitting that Jane Eyre is a DNF for me. I find the language to be bloated and weak. Too little happens and it takes too long to get there. Jane is too pious for my taste, and Rochester is a jerk. Normally I enjoy books with characters who are all flawed, but I can't do this one. The author thinks I should love Jane, and I don't.
