Title: wonderful novel, especially for the "experienced"
Review: One of the joys of reading great works of literature, indeed of reading in general, is RE-READING, seeing all the wonderful things you missed the first time around. _Middlemarch_ is such a book, so much so that I have been astounded upon rereading it. I was assigned this book twice in college, and while I can certainly understand why this book would be studied in literature courses because of the value it contributed to the form of novel writing in general, I firmly believe this book can only be appreciated fully by someone with a little more experience under their belt than the average college co-ed. So, if you remember trudging through this large tome in the early morning hours of your college days, finding it unbearable, give it another go once you're 30 or 40 -- I think you'll be more than pleasantly surprised. I can honestly say this is one of the books that is closest to my heart now. Truly moving.
