Middlemarch

in response to bella

Thoughtful, longer, generally good-vibed book to keep on me while i backpack central europe this summer?? Something intriguing enough to keep me hooked but not so fast-paced i devour it in days. I need it to last me at least a month!

Give it a shot if you haven’t read it already. Long, pleasant, surprisingly easy read, and it makes you think!

This is one of a few ~classics~ i’ve had floating around near the top of my TBR list. This is a great endorsement, i’ll pick it up, thanks!

“The main character of Middlemarch is Middlemarch”

“Published in 1871, Mary Ann Evans is a genius of realist fiction. The dialogue is as hilarious & modern as Succession, the portrait of small-town provincialism is as multifaceted and well-drawn as the Wire. Our book club read it summer ‘23, and we still call ourselves the Middlemarchers.”
