Ughhh Dorothea I feel you

George Eliot, I feel you too
I wish I could talk to her cause what kind of person must she have been to write like that???

We’ve been getting back to the storyline I care the most about, ALSO I got the physical copy at the library and have been rereading parts, so I’m stagnating (?) but not really, cause I have been reading…? Just not progressing…?
This book’s writing is so insanely clever (!!), witty and interesting, I just can’t really get on board with the length and vastness of characters and plotlines
Like gurl ?

Do I really care about middlemarchs medical future in this much detail?
I doubt it
Still, for some reason I have no problem listening to discussions of it in *this much detail*

finished book one ⭐️

honestly, this books concept is confusing and questionable to me
but I’m very understanding about it cause yk.. it’s like *really* old

To me this was kinda lacking though
The good stuff wasn’t enough and mediocre stuff I didn’t really like or care about was too much

Maybe it’s time for a break, before I continue with book 2

Three and a half hours in babyyy
Yesterday I started to hate all of these characters but now I’m kind of invested again…
Still: 32 more hours?? This is crazyyyy
Well, I’ll just take breaks inbetween
But not yet!!

I already see this being and getting very very fucking complex

Ughhhhhhghahhh dodo don’t do itttttt
Pleaseeee
Not that pedophilic ass pervert pleaaase

(Well, I know what’s going to happen, so no use in begging tbh)
Lord gimme strengthhh

damn
