64. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

In this week’s episode, Kayla and Taylor discuss Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 classic novel Jane Eyre. Topics include the use of the word “ejaculate” (it does not mean what you think it means), St. John (he’s The WoOOOooOOOoorst!!), and how everyone hates ugly poor people. Plus, we decide which is better: Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre (the Battle of the Brontës).
