Wide Sargasso Sea

Initially, I had my typical “this is going to be classic crap that I wade through and get nothing out of,” concern, but about 1/3 of the way through I started to really enjoy this novel. The beautiful estate setting in the Caribbean, the protagonist's mental unloosening and Rhys' amazing language skills make me think this may be my new favorite book.

Oh, and I have not read Jane Eyre and don't feel like I missed anything in this story because of it.
