Finished through Book 7. I'm so invested in so many of these stories now. I still aspire to be Caleb Garth. I identify with Lydgate too, and his money troubles (and escape from them) and his marriage are so painful and yet so unexaggeratedly believable. The repeating plot points of wills is curious, kind of like the book doesn't have to let go of those characters even after they've died. Eager to finish.

Finished through Book 4. I so identify with Caleb Garth and I love the entire Garth family. However, I fear I am like Casaubon.
