I think as an adult I read differently than I did when I was younger. I spend a lot of time analyzing a writer's motive whereas when I was younger it was all about the immersion. There are times I miss that.
I found it interesting how she explained her reading stages and passion with Jane Eyre. Is it the same with anyone else when it comes to Jane's Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy? Did you fall in love as a child and then see them differently as adults.
