The Fill in the Gaps: 100 project: I finished Middlemarch!!

I finished Middlemarch!!

I was literally reading the last pages as I walked home from the train station last night, but I did it!

It's definitely a book that I will need to read again, a few times I think. There was something very unsatisfactory about the ending that I can't quite put my finger on. I stopped despising Rosamond, so I guess that's something.

Next book for me is not for this project - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's definitely filling in the gap of Victorian Zombies however =D

PP&Z is marvellous. I read this section today and nearly sprayed coffee all over the kitchen.

Elizabeth needed no such refreshment - she had once been ordered to maintain a handstand for six days in the blistering Beijing sun...; June 4, 2009 at 8:34 PM
