10. Favourite classic book.

Ah, I’ve already said “Wuthering Heights”… so my other favourite…

“Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte.

Yet again, not the edition I have (unsurprising, as mine is older than I am). “Jane Eyre” was the first classic novel I ever read, at the tender age of 11. The basic plotline is that Jane Eyre, an orphan, becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, the home of the drop-dead-gorgeous Mr Rochester. Unsurprisingly, she falls for him and his brooding charm, making this something of a tale of unrequited love, but meanwhile, mysterious events and ghostly sightings are occuring throughout Thornfield…
You may be able to tell that I’m in something of a dramatic mood, but it’s hard to do Jane Eyre justice without being dramatic. It’s a sweeping, mysterious and passionate novel, and the characters of Jane and, of course, Mr Edward Rochester, are some of the most endearing in English Literature, if not World literature.
