Larry’s Reviews > Middlemarch > Status Update

Setting it aside for a while. I'm on the fence about resuming later.,

I felt left out for never having read the widely proclaimed "greatest English language novel ever written." Two hundred pages in, I'm struggling to understand this book's lofty reputation. Other great English language novels--Moby Dick, much of Jane Austen, some Dickens--pull me in right from the start and rarely let go. Somebody tell me, please, when does Middlemarch start to get interesting?
