so far no one is a girl’s girl

so far it’s making me feel angsty, like i need to start a fight with all my relatives while visiting family this week

This is the book that never ends. All I want is for it to end and with Jane and Rochester apart. How can one root for them together? Charlotte, I hope and beg this was not your intention. If it was, then was the whole split-tree symbolism a throw-away or, worse, a red herring? This is one of those books that almost bores to tears but is so long that you're forced to invest and it makes you hate your life. Goodnight.

Two-thirds of the way through it FINALLY gets interesting.

Blanche update: besides her name, I'm not sure why teenaged me was so fond of this so-far one-dimensional character. Perhaps, the last third of the book will answer this... Perhaps, it really was just Blanche Ingram name envy.

Finally, a third of the way through, Blanche Ingram has been mentioned on page. She was the sole reason I decided to read this door-stopper of a book again; high-school-me loved her. Let’s see if that ages well.

My middle-and-high-school self was extremely anti-culture. So, along with the Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars was discarded as Popular Media Too Popular For Me until now. I would say my high-school self was wrong to avoid these things, but maybe she was just wise enough to wait until I could fully understand their greatness.

I still have the latter half to go, but I doubt the first will eclipse it.
