Any Readers That Want to Write Too?

Middlemarch Book 1 - Discussion
I know we have until the 4th of May. Just curious if anyone had any thoughts on the first book - "Ms. Brooks"?! I just finished the first book today (chapter 12) so I can focus on my notes for an upcoming final exam on Tuesday.
I have to admit I love it. I don't want to give any away for anyone that hasn't finished the first book but I already have my thoughts on what the ending will be. Am I the only person that feels they must predict the ending??
By the way, I must admit I'm surprised that George Eliot was able to capture the true relationship between sisters as if he was a sister himself. Granted our conversations are slightly more contemporary *wink* but still. He had some of the idiosyncrasies down pat. It was weird. I think he knows more about women then most men. hmph!
Oh and did any one else see "twittered" in the book?? haha. So far it is reminding me of Sense and Sensibility a bit. I was a bit thrown off by the change of subject matter in the last two chapters since they weren't directly related to Miss Brooks. But other than that it was an easy read. I heard it gets better??
Anyone else have thoughts? Am I posting prematurely? Should I have waited until the 4th? You can delete this post if it's premature. :)

Many Apologies!
I'm sorry guys. I'm not sure why my default is this blog. I got the "link" drop downbox down pat but I tried to do a widget on my person blog and it just posted to the top blog (which by default is this one somehow). I didn't even know where it went (it wasn't a copy and paste it just automatically sent it to your blog) and figured it was in la-la land. I just happened to come here and see it. OOPS! That wasn't intentional and I promise I'm not trying to use this blog for personal gains. SERIOUSLY. Many, many apologies smothered in embarassment.

Review: Shakespeare's Macbeth
Hey,
I just finished reading Shakespeare's Macbeth. If you'd like to see my review you can read it here:
Shakespeare's Macbeth
I'm not part of the Book Book. Is that open to anyone? I haven't written a "review" or book report in a very long time...I almost didn't know what to write. lol. Hopefully I'll get better. ;)
