Oop, sorry Natali and thank you for correcting me, Leslie! I haven't had my caffeine this a.m. yet. Also, I had Chrissi on my mind after corresponding with her about a possible Euro Brokie get-together.

Emily Bronte's classic novel Wuthering Heights, first published pseudonymously in 1847, is an example of late Romanticism in English literature. Often misunderstood by those who know it only by reputation as exemplary of the High Victorian era in its themes and concerns, the story actually takes place in the late eighteenth century and barely spills over into the very early nineteenth, and is suffused with Romantic sensibility.

After seeing Jane Eyre on Friday, one of the books that has surged to the top of my reading list is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
I was particularly charmed when Mr. Rochester (played by the new sensation Michael Fassbender) accuses the new governess Jane of bewitching him and referring to "little green men" running around. You know how much I love British green men!!
