64. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

In this week’s episode, Kayla and Taylor discuss Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 classic novel Jane Eyre. Topics include the use of the word “ejaculate” (it does not mean what you think it means), St. John (he’s The WoOOOooOOOoorst!!), and how everyone hates ugly poor people. Plus, we decide which is better: Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre (the Battle of the Brontës).This week’s drink: Gin Eyre via Tequila MockingbirdINGREDIENTS:8 fresh mint springs, washed2 oz English Gin1 oz lemon juice1 ½ tsp granulated sugar2 dashes orange bittersINSTRUCTIONS:Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice, tearing mint leaves firstShake well and strain into a cocktail glassCurrent/recommended reads, links, etc.:Subscribe to our Patreon, where we discuss “lower-case-l” literature and have a silly good time doing it! Follow us on Instagram @literatureandlibationspod.Visit our website: literatureandlibationspod.com to submit feedback, questions, or your own takes on what we are reading.
