Welcome back to the book club. I'm Michael Knowles very excited to discuss one of the great novels,

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. You can see this is a very annotated copy. There is much to get into, but before we can get into it,

in our fast-paced world, it is tough to make reading a priority.

Well, it used to be.

But at thinker.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and

noteworthy non-fiction giving you access to an entire library of great books in

bite-sized form. You can read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes from old classics like Dale

Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules

for Life.

If you want, oh I don't know, to challenge your preconceptions, if you want perhaps

to expand your horizons, if you want what we all know you really want to sound smart at cocktail

parties, then you can go to thinker.org. You don't have a lot of time though so take the vowels out of there. T-H-I-O-K-R-D-O-O E, no time for that.

Thinker.org to start a free trial and put your mind in motion.

Now we will put our minds in motion to help us do that.

My friend Madeline Kearns is here. Madeline Currens,

staff writer at National Review, and a particular lover of

Jane Eyre. Maddie, thank you for being here.

Thanks for having me, Michael.

I can't help but notice.

We've been friends for some years now.

Jane Eyre is not only a terrific book by Charlotte Brante,

it is also your cell phone case?
