Book VII - home stretch? #middlemarchmadness

Middlemarch (Revised) | George Eliot

Pickpick

I finally finished (late) for #middlemarchmadness! I really enjoyed this book and came to love the characters. I wish I had read this when I was younger, before I fell in love, broken someone's heart, had my own broken and then met the man I am soon to marry. I don't see marriage often being so thoughtfully illustrated in any literature especially its regards to status, expectations and inner turmoil.

Yournewfriendsams Great review! 8y
Curley_Bender A book at the ballpark is a great day. I like to show up early just to read. What park is that? 8y
ultrabookgeek @Curley_Bender it's the MCU park in Brooklyn for the minor league team - the Cyclones. It was hard to read because the game moves fast and it was interesting. Next time I will follow your move and show up early! 8y

#teamMaryGarth!

Finished early with #middlemarchmadness - I usually reach a point with readalongs where I hit the good part of a book and don't quit reading 😜. Middlemarch is a novel that rewards re-reading. More details each time. A fascinatingly complex yet simple story. Thanks Rincey for the RAL!

I feel like there's a point in any book where you need to finish the rest in one sitting. It's kind of like trying to stop a roller coaster on the downward slope. I've been sipping this book all summer and I have less than 100 pages left.

Let's do this thing, George Eliot.

Beckys_Books Good luck. I read it last summer and it just wasn't for me. 8y
ultrabookgeek I just starting feeling this way about Middlemarch but I want to keep pacing it out so I understand it better. The beginning was slow but it's picking up! 8y
rachelm @sharimichele I just couldn't really root for anyone at the middle point, but it does pick up! 8y

He distrusted her affection; and what loneliness is more lonely than distrust?

Is anyone else doing #middlemarchmadness? I'm going to start posting some thoughts and questions and was curious to see other feedback and thoughts. This is my first reading, so insight is welcome!

SusanInTiburon I read Middlemarch long ago and loved it. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. 8y
