After recently reading the collection of short stories based on the line "Reader, I married him," I realised it had been many many years since I read the actual novel, and decided to revisit it. Do I still have a few bones to pick with some of the ideas in it? Yes. Do I still think it's a remarkable piece of literature, the more so for having been conceived and written in the circumstances it was conceived and written in? Absolutely. (Perhaps in 2019 I will revisit a few others I haven't read in many years, such as Wuthering Heights or Frankenstein....)
