Did I really forget to write about this?!I read Middlemarch in one of my English classes last semester and absolutely fell in love with this story, its characters, and George Eliot.
George Eliot is actually Mary Ann Evans writing with a male pen name. She is brilliant and this story is beautiful. All about the people living in the English town of Middlemarch, Eliot somehow offers an intimate view of everyone, rather than just one or two characters. The book is over a thousand pages long, but I promise you it's worth the time and effort.
Of all the classics I've read... THIS is my favorite! Eliot blows Jane Austen out of the water. Sorry all you Austen fans (I happen to be one myself), but I personally believe she does. I hope you enjoy her style and depth as much as I do.

i think i like your old layout better. i can't remember it now that it's gone though...
Looks good! :) I might have to read this next!
... to follow on my last comment- oh a year ago. i think it was the anthropologie books. thanks for getting back into book blogging. i like to read about the books that you read. maybe i'll be able to read a whole book again someday. one page puts me to sleep every time. someone once said i must be reading boring books. but i think i might be tired. i'll try this one and see how it goes!
