I'd like to learn more about her after seeing the movie, which I really liked. <br /><br />Maire -- I'm glad you liked Earnest, I saw the movie with Colin Firth and it was pretty funny. I've only read Dorian Gray which sounds so different.<br /><br />Jason -- I've read Middle March, Silas Marner, and The Mill on the Floss. I'd like to read the others someday but I have so many to read and they're all so long! I promise to read more Eliot someday -- I have to reread Mill on the Floss. I read it in high school and I was too young to appreciate it.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-65801295694088220522010-02-09T07:59:32.696-05:002010-02-09T07:59:32.696-05:00A year of Victorian and not a SINGLE George Eliot ...A year of Victorian and not a SINGLE George Eliot novel? Tut, tut, tut :P. Just kidding, your list sounds lovely - and your knowledge of the Victorians is so much better than mine I couldn't offer a lot of praise or criticism. It's interesting to see hwo much variety there really is in the age, though!Keshalyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900218197083383905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-44987000518359777302010-02-08T23:46:57.927-05:002010-02-08T23:46:57.927-05:00All of those books on your list sound great!

I really want to try some of his work.Mairehttp://dailywordsandacts.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-81602113342652945252010-02-08T22:29:13.501-05:002010-02-08T22:29:13.501-05:00I'm doing this too and I thinking I'll mos...I'm doing this too and I thinking I'll mostly be reading the actual novels! I think you've read all the ones I'm hoping to read so I can't help you on ideas. I read Oliver Twist in October and enjoyed it!<br /><br />I'm hoping for nonfiction too but not sure where to begin with that.Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.com
