OH GOD. We had to do that book for English for my GCSEs 2 years ago.
I HATED THE BOOK. I THOUGHT IT WAS BORING AND JUST...THERE'S NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT. Thankfully, most of my class found it down-right dull too. MS.TONGUE WAS NOT PLEASED ):
But yeah i really don't understand the fuss about it either, idk i've read way better literature. Maybe i just can't stand such a boring plot, i'd pick Narnia over that pile of crap anyday AHAHAHA~

My parents made me read that book when I was ten. TEN. I WAS STILL IN PRIMARY SCHOOL.

I have still not forgiven them.

Some misguided notion of my precocity, I think. Also, my mother teaches secondary English. So - uh, English teachers, I guess. not quite realizing that I was quite happy reading The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

This manifested itself by me being given long books and classics long before I was really ready for them. I dutifully read them but I can't claim I really understood what the Hell I was actually reading. The Mayor of Casterbridge had me running scared of Hardy for years, but by the time I got to the sixth form and had to read him again, I loved it. Nothing the matter with the book, I was just too young to get it.

... though I suspect Jane Eyre would have been boring whenever. I have no desire to go back and reread it. Ever. Am I the only one who thinks Jane is a bit of a Mary Sue? She's damn near self-insert on Bronte's part!

I discovered some quite good books through my parents (Including Hitch-Hiker, oddly), but a fair few of them were boring. The sad thing is, Jane Eyre isn't the dullest thing they ever made me read. That would be The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Every time the plot got even vaguely interesting thr book broke off to describe the stately pinnacles and flying buttresses of Notre Dame. Ohgod. I have no idea how I got through that book considering I wasn't old enough to drink at the time...

Yes!
I didn't have to read it but I bought it with the money I got for winning a reading contest at school. What a waste of money :S
Then some of my classmates that were taking Advanced English had to read it too, but most of them didn't, and asked me to tell them what happened instead :P
