Middlemarch is such a boring book. Argh, if i could express how much i hate a book it would pour out in torrents over this steaming pile of shit. I'm sorry George Elliot, kudos for Silas Marner, but Middlemarch? I can see how it encapsulates Victorian life and society but why encapsulate Victorian life and socitey when it was shit depressing and bleak? Nothing happens apart from discussing marriage and money. And then perhaps getting married, oh wait no? No, we'll talk about marriage and the estate some more.

I've never felt more like packing up a whole degree and career as a result of one woman's depiction of the 19th century.
