Jane Eyre

I've made a little more headway in Jane Eyre. The book is good but a little on the boring side at the moment. What really overwhelms me is that the font size and the amount of pages. The book itself is not very big at all. But the font is so tiny and the pages are so compact that I'm not reading nearly as much as I am used to. I get very disappointed when I've read for an hour and have only read around 30 more pages. What really gets me upset is that Jane thought she was leaving her aunt's house for a better life but she was completely wrong. It almost seems like she is in a prison. She gets not nearly enough food, she's constantly cold and she's miserable. Her principle lady, Miss. Temple was speaking to the man who "owns" the place, Mr. Brockelhurst about how the girls many times do not have edible food and he does not care at all he says that making them eat the edible food will make them stronger in life and that you cant cater to their every needs. How awful is that! I really hope I'll finish this book over Thanksgiving break. Off to more reading...
