I'm re-reading Middlemarch by George Eliot. I had forgotten how funny it is in places, and what a wry and surprisingly modern voice she has (once you get used to the 19th Century writing style).

Middlemarch looks intimidating because it’s huge, but it flys by when you read it. I loved this book; I should really read it again!

I'm enjoying it even more the second time, and find myself slowing down to appreciate the subtleties more.
