I'd ...Middlemarch is one of my all time favorites. I'd argue it's the best novel in English from the 19th century. <BR/><BR/>It's interesting to read your remark that the book makes you slow down. The people of the 19th century all felt they were living in a fast paced time. They had too much to do, if anything. Now, it seems like a charming, easy-paced life.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to future posts. Please take your time with Middlemarch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-59484346842105484202008-08-30T18:52:00.000-04:002008-08-30T18:52:00.000-04:00Ted - I'm so glad you like!

He was the one I was trying to remember when we went out the other night ... his descent into debt is one of the most harrowing and accurate descriptions of losing control of your money that I have ever read in my life.<BR/><BR/>I need to read this book again.Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.com
