I'm still in shock that this is true, but it's already February! And has been for a week!!
This month we'll be reading George Eliot. Has anyone started on their read already??

I haven't read either Adam Bede or Mill on the Floss. Maybe I will give one of them a go.

I managed a reread of an Eliot which I love but most dislike. My thoughts & comments on:
The Lifted Veil by George Eliot; (4 1/2*)
I did not find this to be a lovely book, but I do find that my opinion of this book remains drastically different from most L.T. readers of the book.
I thought it quite brilliant. As I read, I felt myself looking into the man's mind and found that I momentarily took on his mental persona as well. I was not bored. I was not piqued. I was not grossed out. The book did not depress me nor did it make me nervous or anxious. I was nothing but a person within another person's ill mind. There was very little within the book that was literal and not simply in his mind.
Yes, I thought it very different and as I said rather brilliant.
I shall, most likely, be the only one here with this opinion. But then too, I am probably the only one here who has been on a psyche ward for depression, anxiety and panic attack as well. I cannot say if that colored my reading of this book.
