LWoodard Reading 'Shirley' 2 Sep 7 2009, 9:18 AM EDT by either/or

Hi everyone - how are you all? Read any good Bronte books lately? I recently finished Rebecca Fraser's bio, which was excellent. And currently I have been reading 'Shirley'. I tried it once before and could not get past the 1st chapter; I gave up because, honestly, I found it dull. If anyone else has had the same experience, I just want to say KEEP READING. It may be difficult to 'get into' it at first, but it definitely picks up in pace and interest by about the 4th chapter. And of course, since it's a Bronte novel, it is worth the reading!

Anyone want to talk about 'Shirley'??

Lisa
