My LIfe in Middlemarch (Rebecca Mead)

 This book is remarkable. I picked it up thinking - "Middlemarch -Yawn!" Mead makes the book  more interesting than my memory of the book ever was. I was drawn in by the author's love for the victorian classic original. She weaves her own life  into the story, bringing out the connections that make Middlemarch a classic story.  There is no mistaking this for Lit. Crit. for English 101. I will certainly recommend this to readers interested in essays and to those reading classics.

 I also sent this along to a journalism major at UMCP with a strong recommendation to read it and pass the recommendation  along.
