So PBS is doing a two part Jane Eyre remake. Read about it here on the New York Times. It looks like a wonderful remake and I can't wait to watch it. I should probably read the original, yes it's probably a crime I haven't read the original book, but Bronte is so hard to read. I haven't ever read Withering Heights (not the same Bronte) or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (seriously, has anybody read Anne's book?).
It will be on Sunday night and next Sunday night! Tune in.. it's PBS, support public broadcasting. (brought to you by Viewers Like You.)
Posted by 10lees at January 20, 2007 11:47 AMI have read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights and preferred Jane Eyre. It's just better and less "gothic." I have never read Anne's book.
Posted by: Lo at January 21, 2007 09:30 AMI did read Sharon Shinn's Jenna Starborn which is just Jane Eyre in the future. It's interesting to have to move all those mores into the future though, it was an ok read.

The parts I caught last night were very good!
