Title: The best -- bar none.
Review: Middlemarch is, simply, the best book I have ever read. The story itself is absorbing (following a rather long, but necessary, period of exposition at the beginning of the book), but what I found most engaging were George Eliot's sense of humor and the total relevance of Middlemarch's themes to life 150 years later. What an amazing work!
