The year my son was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario it snowed beyond the usual expectations. This I remember 'cause it was the middle of June. That summer of 1982 never achieved warm temperatures.

It's hard not to see this childhood as ideal. Freedom and imagination. Friendship and connection.

I was very much like you, once outside I didn't go back until my parents rang the dinner bell they had on the front porch. In the summers, we were at the lake until dinner time, it's a wonder we didn't turn into fish. There wasn't anything I was afraid of outside, only once I came inside.
I never mastered the hula hoop but my daughter did, I couldn't believe how easy it came to her.

Thank you. I was trying to figure out how to spell it and it was not giving me options. I had changed it to that, but it still marked it as wrong and when I googled it it showed it that other way. So I gave up and just posted it.

One of the thoughts from our group is considering that Jane Eyre may be a high functioning autistic person.... this intrigues me.

May I please correct "insightful?" Typos set my teeth on edge

I love Jane Eyre; I read it several times as a kid. I love how books "grow up with you;" every time I read a favorite, I understand it better, as I've learned and matured.

Flexibility and patience and imho... individual plans geared to the child.

Same in Life. I need to adjust but at my own pace in my own way.

Currently Reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Day 4104 - Blogging Circle of Friends

What are you reading? Would you recommend it? Why or why not?

I am doing a slow read of Jane Eyre. I read this many years ago, probably in high school, but for my own interest not for a school assignment. Rereading it has been fabulous. I am doing a slow read with Caroline Donahue's - The Tattooed Governess - on Substack.

How that works. Well, we read about three chapters a week and then at the end of the week Donahue does a debrief which includes a summary, craft notes, art & historical information, and archetypes. All very interesting stuff. Then there is discussion within her Substack forum. People have been very inciteful and kind in their comments.

Would I reread if not for the slow read? Probably not, but the fact that I am enjoying this process very much makes me think this is a worthy endeavour and for that I am grateful.

Would I recommend the book? Yes, this book is a classic. Taking the time to read it and savour it has given me some comfort in my own station.

I also find it interesting that her sister's Wuthering Heights has recently been released as a new movie version which I am dying to see. Apparently it is a steamier version.

I had to chuckle at the fact that the day I started reading Jane Eyre, the Vision TV channel put the Jane Eyre movie on. I taped it. I plan to watch it on my own time when we complete the book - in May.

I have a feeling this year is going to be a year of reading more classics.... I have a desire to read The Secret Garden again.

Whatever you read, may it be soul nourishing this year. Happy reading.
