But really it is an amazing book. You have to take some tedious chapters with the great ones. But overall it is one of the great books. So many stories that are compelling involving about ten wonderful characters. Universal stories and human traits that we can all relate to.Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-87376537172851470892014-05-29T07:25:29.188-07:002014-05-29T07:25:29.188-07:00Kathy, it really was a funny image.

Maybe in the fall you could do it in your book club. It would make a great fall book choice.Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-1430323690837510922014-05-28T18:11:25.636-07:002014-05-28T18:11:25.636-07:00Oooo, I'm looking forward to your book list!Oooo, I'm looking forward to your book list!Painting the hamptonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474404078973540030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-25488364426651736052014-05-28T15:05:25.033-07:002014-05-28T15:05:25.033-07:00So many women who I admire love this book.

But, given that you stayed with it even though it was hard and you thought it was worth it--well, I guess I will give it another go!

As you know, the novel is one of my favorites. Perhaps, through you, more people will be interested in reading George Eliot and especially Middlemarch.Judie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380471184442805260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-10696253537124038242014-05-27T13:45:18.789-07:002014-05-27T13:45:18.789-07:00I haven't read Middlemarch yet.

However, I trust your book taste, so I'll go get a copy!<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Middlemarch is definitely not the sort of book you see on summer reading lists, but it sounds just lovely. I hope I fulfill my goal of reading it some day.
