I haven't read anything by Anne Brontë. Apparently I should rectify this ASAP.
That was awesome. I don't think it was fair on Emily & Charlotte, mind, 'cause I don't think they
are
just Twilightfangirl about Mr Rochester or Heathcliff, but - yeah. Point.
But you should totally read

But you should totally read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
I keep meaning to read that. I've seen one of the Masterpiece Theater productions, and I was really intrigued by the story. Very different sensibility than her sisters.
wrod....what she said.(But their brother kind of was one, wasn't he? In a 'get high and brood' sort of way.)
I only read it because I took a Bronte course, and, yes, I think all three Brontes would be rather horrified by the conclusions that Meyer, in particular, took from their work...I think that was not what any of them intended.
Hey, Holmes fans. Did Irene Adler marry Godfrey Norton in A Scandal in Bohemia? Is that canon?
If that's the guy's name, yeah. They definitely get married.
Jilli--
My mom loved your book and wanted me to tell you that, but I forgot.
Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE, make it STOP, already!
