What does it mean to read a book deeply? Why should you re-read books? How can a book affect your life? Rebecca Mead considers these and many more questions in her book about her favorite work of literature, George Eliot's Middlemarch. I loved learning more about George Eliot and to be honest, liked getting an overview of Middlemarch since I'll be starting that next as a part of our Big Book Summer at UCPL. There are books that are fun to dash through and books that you should spend more time on...Middlemarch will certainly be something that takes more time and thought.
Also loved the narrative on some of Mead's research. Wandering around in many libraries and also some of the places that Eliot lived and wrote about...what could be more fun?
