Jane Eyre Movie!?

     About a month ago, I was watching previews for upcoming movies at 1 am. Why was doing such a time-wasting activity so late at night? Well, the simple answer is that I am a college student. The... who am i kidding. The real reason is pretty durn simple too. I was bored and didn't want to go to sleep. Getting back to the subject at hand, I found to my amazement a preview for Jane Eyre. I was delighted, but not because I read the book. My interest is instantly piqued in any movie that originated as a book. Even more so when I have actually heard of the book before.
     That same night, I grabbed my iPod and got a copy of Jane Eyre to read. Now, if you haven't gotten a book before on your iPod / iPad or whatever else you have, then I would suggest trying it. There are so many free books to get that are really cool. Keep in mind that these free books are old, I think earlier than 1920 or something, but you can still get some really great books. My favorite site to get them from is amazon.com, though. Barnes and Noble has a good selection too, but I just prefer Amazon. In order to get the ebooks from Amazon, you need to download their free Kindle app at the app store. 
     I regrettably am not finished with the book yet, but I can tell you that so far, it is very, very good. It is hard to tell with an ebook, but I would say I am close to half finished with it already. And before any judging starts, this isn't my usual pace with books. I decided to read it during school, which can be just asking for bad grades. This, if anything, should tell you that Jane Eyre is an exceptional book. Enjoy reading!!
