To eyre is human







A double post, as I'm reading such a lot lately. Can't understand why because it feels like the only thing I've been reading is reports.




Anyho...Jane Eyre...was feeling pretty reluctant to begin with, classics have never been my strong point. BUT it was great, plenty of plot going on which I've always found a bit unusual for Victorian novels.




Have now moved on to Slam by Nick Hornby. Wonderfully written through the voice of a 16 year old boy. Every 15 year old should read this book! Only trouble was, in the book, the boy confides to a poster of his hero Tony Hawk. Couldn't work out why he would see this 40 something comedian as such a cool guy. Then, I had one of those Oprah AHA moments.


In actual fact he meant the other Tony Hawk....the cool skateboarder. Makes perfect sense now!
