My view on Mr. Rochester
Mr. Rochester may seem boring or maybe even mysterious in a creepy way but in my mind he is a badass. first off he's obviously got it going on because his house is full of sexy ladies and by house i really meant to say mansion or castle. Also i think it is pretty cool that he is confident enough to ask a governess to marry him. He's like a 17th century pimp. Unfortunately Rochester is the only character that is interesting and he isn't even very exciting anyways , i don't want to sound like a downer but this book seems like it is still moving at a snail's pace. Don't get me wrong i think it is a beautifully written book but it might just be a little too old-fashioned for my taste.

You have every right to your "tastes", but I'm glad you are trying to push past them to acknowledge the book's merits (what does make it "beautiful" by the way? I'd like to know). I also am pleased that you're focusing on Rochester, the "bad ass" (in many ways, he is!), as a way to keep your interest stoked. You should find the next couple of chapters interesting (though, be warned, there are a lot of pages left--all of them filled with the sort of pacing that you may find 'slow'). Still, I admire your perseverance in this regard (way to 'man up' when it comes to the most important of those 6 P's!).
