We read in the Trenton Republican Times an article about a woman who was sadly diagnosed with cancer. She has now left her disease behind and can tell her own story. This is what she says at one point:

I was completely radioactive for 24 hours. I felt like the mad woman in the attic in ‘Jane Eyre’. The phone was disconnected.

The Buffalo Pundit insists one more time that The Da Vinci Code is nothing but fiction and that other stories before it have been frowned upon by the Church:

Did Mary wring her hands wondering what the Church’s position was on the Wizard of Oz? Or Harry Potter? Or Jane Eyre? Or the Bourne Identity?

And finally, the Brontës and technology are flesh and bone lately. Today, in an article about Microsoft's Windows Live Academic Search site, now available in beta, we find about what results you get if you google search for Charlotte Brontë:

On the plus side, although Microsoft says it has indexed information from three main fields only (computer science, physics and electrical engineering), it has clearly embarked on the task of indexing other disciplines too. Try searching on “Charlotte Bronte”, for example, and you’ll get roughly 30 academic results.

Nice.
