Jackie O at Colibri

Los Angeles Times reviews several books about Jacqueline Kennedy. Particularly about William Kuhn's Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books it says,

She assembled several notable private libraries over the course of her life and, as Kuhn says in his introduction, her favorite works were Isak Dinesen's "Out of Africa," Colette's "Cheri" and Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea." (Tim Rutten)

The Times of India talks about fog in novels:

The fog has also been described graphically in the climax of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of Baskervilles. In Gothic novels, the weather becomes an integral device for drama. Novelist Emily Brontë calls it "a silvery vapour" in Wuthering Heights. (Kim Arora)

The Hindu reviews Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and compares it, of course, to Jane Eyre:

So they will live like Jane Eyre and her blind, humbled Rochester in a solitude of two, but Mrs. de Winter enjoys none of Jane's certainties. (Latha Anantharaman)

Nouse has an article about UK's Business Secretary Vince Cable:

To quote Jane Eyre (and Lewis Bretts) we are “but human and fallible”, so should the future of British media be put in jeopardy all because of Cable’s hubris?

Windy City Times remembers the Lifeline Theatre's production of Wuthering Heights:

But there were also stage pictures designed to evoke mood over location, like those by Donahue for Lifeline's Wuthering Heights or Jorge Felix for Urban Theater's Brainpeople (which also introduced Marilyn Camacho into the wet-dream goddess pantheon, right alongside Brenda Barrie) and the perennial boat-in-bottle challenges, the prize once again going to Theo Ubique for its up-close-and-cozy productions of Chess and Cats. (...)Goodman's The Long Red Road dared to cast an amputee, Katy Sullivan, in the role of an amputee (ironically, the most active figure onstage), and Wuthering Heights elevated Gregory Isaac to the ranks of sexy historical heroes (currently led by Nick Sandys and Peter Greenberg, but don't ignore AARP pin-up Mike Nussbaum wearing tights for Chicago Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew). (Mary Shen Barnidge)

The new Residence bar in San Francisco is described as follows in the San Francisco Weekly:

Gone are all of the thrift-store couches, kitschy lamps, and graffitied restrooms. In their stead is a long room that looks like Jane Eyre's boudoir, with a fireplace facade, dark wood along the walls, more upscale lounge chairs, and a painted portrait of an 18th-century woman over the mantel. (Katy St. Clair)

The Lansing Book Reviews Examiner is reading Jane Eyre:

On my quest to read the classics I was excited to see that most e-readers have them already supplied. Jane Eyre is an intriguing character and I am enjoying reading bits and pieces of this at time, but it is a hard one to stick to when there are so many others out there. (Allison Monroe)

We are not sure if the writer at Calgary Motherhood Examiner has really read Wuthering Heights when we read something like this:

Go with the classics. If you are unsure about what to hand over to your child, remember the classic tales that you once enjoyed as a kid. Read a classic tale with them each evening before bed, or hand over your old copy of Wuthering Heights or Of Mice and Men. (Cheryl Senger) 

Beauer County Times, Sky Movies, MTV Movies  Blog, Collider anticipate Jane Eyre 2011. Collider also says about its trailer:

Selling a costume period drama isn’t easy, but this trailer makes Cary Fukunaga’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë ’s classic novel come off as a gripping gothic tale.  Bonus points for using music from Suspiria. (Matt Goldberg)

Bookworm Meets Bookworm posts about Jane Eyre;  Rochester's Whore reviews Wide Sargasso Sea 1993; The Bookaholic Princess reviews Jane Slayre (in Portuguese); Wuthering Heights is a book which doesn't cause indiference: you love it (Almost True) or you hate it (The Smug Cloud)
