Any other books that are Jane eyre's genre, please recommend. I also enjoy books in those forms of 'older' english, like those used in Jane Eyre's unabridged version.

Hope this helps..they are all old classics (few arent as old) but if you want to read books in the classic genre I suggest the ones below..the women of course write similar books as Jane Eyre... I highly recommend Tess of the d'Urbervilles, if you liked Jane Eyre you will like Tess!

If you enjoy Charlotte Bronte, you probably would like her sisters' works too - especially Emily Bronte's "Wurthering Heights."
"Dragonwyck" by Anya Seton is another brooding mystery. Although its set in upstate New York, it definitely sets the same kind of mood as "Jane Eyre" and Edgar Allen Poe is even a minor character.
"Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen was her attempt to poke fun at "gothic" novels. So, there are some things that go bump in the night, but the wee ghosties wind up being in the imagination of a young heroine with an overactive imagination.
If you really enjoyed "Jane Eyre" you also might want to consider "The Eyre Affair" and its sequels by Jasper Fforde. They are NOT gothic novels by any stretch of the imagination; they are comedic mysteries featuring a "literary detective," set in an alternate universe. But the first novel is all about a villain kidnapping Jane from the pages of her book and the literary detective and Mr. Rochester's hunt to get her back. There's a lot of in-jokes that you would have had to have read the original to "get."

Yes, you should read the book. The book is always much better than the movie as they can't fit every thing into the movie. It also gives you a better insight into the characters, especially Jane. I found she came across as extremely cold in the movie which she isn't in the book. Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre and her sister Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights. They are not written the same way as Harry Potter or Twilight but they are modern english. Both are excellent stories and which is best woulod be entirely down to personal preference. I love Jane Eyre its in my top 10, but I think Wuthering Heights is in my top 5.

I would definitely recommend Wuthering Heights or anything by the Bronte sisters (Charlotte, Emily, or Anna).
Anything Jane Austin is a great read. Mansfield Park is probably the most similar to Jane Eyre, but Pride and Prejudice is my favorite.
I really can't think of any others off the top of my head, but try going to your library and looking in the section called Classics. You can't go wrong with any of those, and a lot of them are very similar to Jane Eyre in writing style, content, and time period.

You would probably enjoy Jane Austen's books -- Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, etc. A more modern book you might like would be Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca -- it's good romantic suspense and very well written.

Charlotte Bronte also wrote SHIRLEY, VILLETTE, and THE PROFESSOR
Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights
Anne Bronte wrote Agnes Grey, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
Jane Austen wrote many books...Persuasion, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfeld Park, Sense & Sensibility & of course Pride & Prejudice
Frances Burney wrote Evelina. (One of my favorite books).
Elizabeth Gaskell might also interest you. Her books include North and South, Wives & Daughters, and Mary Barton among others.
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) wrote Mill on the Floss, Middlemarch, Daniel Deronda, and many more...
