But nothing of that, gentle reader.

Hm. Hadn't expected Jane Eyre to be such a good read. Or rather, hadn't expected myself to be such an avid reader when it comes to a Victorian female Bildungsroman. But I actually find it easier to read than last semester's cyberpunk (which was by no means bad, though).
And I'm so [unreasonably] proud of myself for being able to understand the French - yay for the re-emerging of my fourth language!

Although, when it comes to the Bronte sisters, I'd really like to read what they wrote about their invented secret hidden kingdom of Gondal. Apparently, it had a language, and they had written stories and exessive historical accounts for it. And unfortunately, all that is burned and lost. [And yes, it's the "gond-" that really makes me curious, though I love invented kingdoms anway: Invented secret kingdoms named something with "gond-" must be good.]

Since I'm in the Victorian age anyway: kaneda and eliathanis, when shall we three meet again, to watch Pride and Prejudice?

Shakespeare quote of the week: "But since [nature] pricked thee out for women's pleasure/ Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure." Or, as Jackson-sensei translated it: "I love you, but nature has given you a cock, so only women get to enjoy you." Poor Shakespeare.

And one final word: Brai!
