Jane Eyre is a brilliant read!

You might also enjoy reading (if you as yet haven't) Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Charlotte's sister.
It's also a beautiful story.

Well Charlotte Bronte wrote two other books called "Shirley" and "Villette", I havn't read either of them but I have read "Jane Eyre" and I enjoy Jane Austen. Although Jane Austen's storylines aren't as dramatic as "Jane Eyre" and are a bit more fluffy I guess, I still think you would like her writing. You might also enjoy something by Elizabeth Gaskell like "North and South". Hope that helps!

Seeing as you liked Jane Eyre, do NOT make the same mistake as I did and try reading 'Villette'. It is the longest book of nothing that I have ever read, and to top it off, a lot of the conversation are in (Victorian) French! After reading this I'm now a little wary of reading 'Shirley'. Mrs Gaskell's 'Mary Barton' was really good. Also, I find Thomas Hardy a good read, although his novels are usually tragic, so people are quite hesitant. But even still, I firmly recommend 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'.

I would not recommend Jane Austin if you are more into the detailed, gothic, strong, story. Jane Austin doesn't really describe the things around her characters, they mostly talk through speech
