As far as the Brontes, I think it took me 2 months to read Jane Eyre - and this was back when I plowed through multiple books in a week.

The only reason I want to read Jane Eyre is because I read the Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (good surrealistic series btw) and I think it'd make more sense if I'd read the book before. You know, since the plot involves the main character, Tuesday Next, IN the book.
