“…so you don’t know the author or title, but it has a blue cover and may or may not have a picture of a woman looking far off into the distance?” #booksellerproblems

Clearly, P&P needs one of these displays (I wish I remember where this came from originally! Who’s this unsung genius?)

Reader, it’s Jane Eyre - Crash Course Literature 207

In which John Green teaches you about Charlotte Brontë’s classic coming of age novel, Jane Eyre. Look, we don’t like to make judgement values here, but Jane Eyre is awesome. By which we mean the book is great, and the character is amazing. When Jane Eyre was published in 1847, it was a huge hit. It really hit the controversial balance beautifully, being edgy enough to make news, but still mainstream enough to be widely popular. It was sort of like the Fight Club of it’s day, but not quite as testosterone-fueled. You’ll learn a little about the story, learn about Jane as a feminist heroine, and even get some critical analysis on how Bertha might just be a dark mirror that acts out Jane’s emotional reactions.

THE FIRST GONE GIRL MOVIE TRAILER IS HERE and I’m having a really hard time containing myself.

If you aren’t familiar with Gillian Flynn’s mind-blowing marital thriller, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a good, long excerpt and here’s our interview with the author.

-Nicole

And just to illustrate the enduring popularity of Gone Girl, here’s a snapshot of a little count I’ve been keeping on my whiteboard:
