I read this for the first time last year (having vowed never to read another George Eliot novel after slogging through The Mill on the Floss, which is easily one of the worst books I've ever read). However, Middlemarch is compelling, poignant, and beautifully written. The characters are drawn with dimension and compassion. I found myself arguing with them as I was reading. One of my favorites!

Read in November, 2008
Of Middlemarch: Virginia Woolf called it, "the magnificent book that, with all its imperfections, is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people." I thought it was wonderful.

The timeless truths that abound in this masterpiece of social life in 19th century England so elegantly pin down the essences of human nature.
