The Good Soldier

Middlemarch

George Elliot is the pen name for the woman author. My motivation for reading was its recommendation as a book one must read being a classic. I could only stand to read about 100 pages and got disgusted. Way too many words to say simple things. Seems to attempt philosophical analysis of families and civilization in a roundabout way that serves better to confuse the reader. Basically, sounds like a romance novel relating the perceived foibles and anxiety of over-rich post-teen girls who have nothing else to do but express their marriage options and enjoy the life of today's billionaire heiresses.
