While people are different and some religiously stick to printed books, others rarely read from anything else than their e-reader.

However, I only started reading them last year (was too busy partying at uni, I guess). In this blog post, I don’t go into great details about the novels, but I do explain why … Continúa leyendo Which Brontë Sister Was the Best Writer?
