It’s been longer than I can remember since I read a massive 19th century British novel, and what I’ve learned from picking this up at the beginning of the year is how much our modern sensibilities towards literature has made novels like this require stamina. Maybe that’s just me. But, if this were written today, this book would have been cut by at least 400 pages. I’m not quitting, just resting.

Woof this has been tough. It’s been so long since I’ve read something written in the late 19th century and it has so many moving parts. But there will have to be a brief pause as I read a novel for one of classes.
