bup In the "list" section of this site, there's a list of the best books of the 20th century.

Right now number 4 on the list is "Jane Eyre."

Dora | 41 comments Ummm...perhaps there's a very good, albeit little-known sequel by the same name?

Perhaps the 20th century moved?

Ummm....I'm out of guesses now.

bup Here's the list:
http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6....

"Pride and Prejudice" is number 7. We also have "Portrait of Dorian Gray," "Dracula," "Sense and Sensibility," "Northanger Abbey"...

And it's not just like a one-person slip-up. This list represents *consensus*, which is what really makes me fear for society. Admittedly, the list is young and the total number of voters and votes is small thus far. Still, *gnashes teeth*
