movie: jane eyre

[seperis]

You know, and I say this with deep romantic love, Rochester is a creepy creepster who is creeping creepily. Just. For the record. Oh my God his creeping over Jane. How did I forget how unearthly unsubtle Rochester is? He's not even goddamn trying not to be creepy.

Christ, man, just get a fucking sign that says "I HAVE A CREEPY SECRET WHILE I CREEP OVER YOU, JANE."

"Poor and obscure as you are", how did I completely block out this?

Jane Eyre version with Michael Fassbender, which just makes it weirdly appropriate. It's like, Magneto in the nineteenth century whose mutant power is Creepiness. Creepneto. IDK. And also, not genocidal. I mean, I assume, but I've forgotten a lot of the book, so maybe he leads some kind of--yeah, no idea.

Suffice to say, Creepneto is freaking me out badly.

Oh, strangulation in the church. That's--what the hell.

Wait, I'm about to meet the wife. This is terribly, terribly disturbing.

Good Christ. So this post of yours reminded me that I need to get around to reading Jane Eyre, and I wandered over to Amazon and discovered that yes indeedy it's available for Kindle for free. And then in the "customers who purchased this also purchased these items" section of the page up pops a few Georgette Heyer titles -- for $1.99 -- and I figure it's another summer reading sale and I should snatch them up while they're marked down. Only it looks like Amazon has almost all of Heyer's stuff up for $1.99 right now. And I've still only read a handful of hers so, you know, time to stock up.

Heh. I just posted about this, thank you for telling me!

Eveyrthing but--oddly--The Toll House, Sprig Muslim, The Unknown Ajax, and A Civil COntract, though the last two are abotu to be released (re-released?) so that's probably why.

I dont' get why The Toll House, unless one of the editions is on sale and another isn't, like Teh Talisman Ring.

Hang on, logging into Amazon to check... Yeah, I noticed that a couple of those were showing the pre-order button rather than a order button. And I just did some browsing and there are some other titles that look good that aren't even available in Kindle yet -- I would be very pleased if this was a matter of policy, bringing them out at the $8 or $10 price first and then some months later knocking the price down. And that would explain why some of them are still at paperback prices.

I really didn't have more than a handful of hers before this -- I bought twenty-two yesterday. (Unwise of me, but I was frantically clicking the buy button for the first few before I realized how many titles were marked down, and then I'd lost track of how many, and I was worrying about it being a temporary sale.) Admittedly a pair of those were e-book rebuys of titles I already had in paperback, but that's still twenty new Heyer titles I get to read, and more available to acquire after that. I'm going to have to either pace myself (say, one per weekend) or use it as a motivator for the long plain garter stitch sections of my mother's Xmas shawl by letting myself read it on the netbook Kindle app so I can knit at the same time.
