I love the reader who volunteered this helpful correction:

“Having just read ‘Jane Eyre’ a couple months ago (for the first time, at age 37), I have to comment that the madwoman in the attic was named Bertha Mason. Grace Poole was her alcoholic keeper–though I’m sure she didn’t look too great in the morning either.”

I might add that it is wonderful to read or re-read books for young people when in full adulthood. I’ve been wanting to re- read Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ ‘The Yearling.’
