Middlemarch and Us


We have an interesting book club coming up this Saturday which will be co-hosted by our darling GSL. I would like to ask you to attend even if you have not read Middlemarch or have no intention of reading it.  I myself have read only 18% of the novel, an annoying fact brought to me by my Kindle tracker.  There is no way I'll be able to finish it in time but I will manage to read a couple of essays written about Middlemarch and an excellent review of Rebecca Mead's bibliomemoir: "My Life in Middlemarch".  Here are the links:

Middlemarch and Me is an essay written by Rebecca Mead for The New Yorker.

Deep Reader: Rebecca Mead's "My Life in Middlemarch" is a review of Rebecca Mead's book by none other than Joyce Carol Oates.

I hope to see you this Saturday here on the blog!
