This book was a minor meme here for a while.
Woolf, Nietzsche, and Henry James all adored it (James with some reservations). I'm thinking of checking it out.

>he hasn't read middlemarch
>He thinks that anyone serious ever memed about middlemarch
bump
>serious meme
Less of a meme more of an actually good book
Woolf is watered-down Joyce. Nietzsche was insane. Henry James wrote some of the dullest prose ever.
Middlemarch is shit.
How to be wrong: the post.
>Middlemarch is shit
Kill you'are'selve
What editions are these? I've seen the Iliad and the Metamorphoses with beautiful covers in the same style.
or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Plebeianism

>not post-ironically memeing
Penguin Hardcover Classics.
They're expensive but pretty.
Is Middlemarch not a meme anymore? I had almost read a book written by a gril, close call.
>he falls for the woman can't write meme
Good goy, wouldn't want some of the best literature to become accessible to everyone
No, I'm sure they can write. I've just never read one, and if I were to I'd only want the best. I was considering this, Jane Eyre, or something by Woolf.
You're the meme, friend
I'm going to ignore all the memeing and just say that Middlemarch is brilliant. Its prose isn't anything in particular, in comparison to Mann or Mellville etc, but it has the deepest characters out of any novel I've ever read. Eliot understood humans in a way few do.
>it has the deepest characters out of any novel I've ever read
It's literally written by a women. There's no way this is true, or you've only read Harry Potter and Twilight until now, roastwhore
>Nietzsche
Gonna need a source on that.
If you want to read the best piece of literature written by a woman, read Wuthering Heights
Call me Tyrone, because that was a top kek
