best novel

worst novel

It's very boring. I have mysterious Russian soul thought, and find characters and themes too frat

>>9286180
It's better than Ulysses.

That's dumb. His wife read it. Marilyn Monroe read it. Woolf Read it. My cousin (who is grill) read it.

>>9286208

>>9286208
Frogniggers literally cannot read Middlemarch.

>>9286241
I know what reading means. It's not a hard word.

I know you don't like women, but your claim is wrong.

lol you got trolled dude

>>9286264
I know. I'm not gonna react to anything like that, but with sincerity. I'm not interested in counter-trolling.

Eh, not sure I would qualify as neurotypical. Sissy, maybe.

Middlemarch is better than Ulysses
and hiding behind a special definition is pretty lazy.
I meant read AND comprehend. Ulysses is complex, but it isn't the face of god.

she spoke out against a book academics literally worship. One of her primary issues being favored part for others writers. His 'cloacal obsession' or whatever.

What makes you think `` George Eliot '' is a female? George is a man's name.

>>9286410
i was that anon. I just miscommunicated. Sorry.

>>9286407
Middlemarch isn't average. No matter how much you hate people with pussies.

>>9286154
If you like pleasant relationship drama or good characters, you'll enjoy it. I did not.
Eliot writes well enough that the book does not suffer from bad prose, but not well enough to be enjoyed for the prose alone; the characters are fleshed out, but I don't particularly care about that; the places feel empty: they lack everything but people—no rich descriptions of architecture can be found here, unlike in, say, Hugo's works, and scenery likewise feels nonexistent; the plot for its part consists mostly of romances and friendships, and while it has two decent tragic arcs, most of the book is spent on other matters; and while the themes may appear interesting, so little time is spent on developing them that it felt like I were reading three to five novels at once, two of which I slightly enjoyed, but neither one too much. And yet all this I could forgive were it at least enjoyable; were it in any way entertaining or funny. But it is not.

this. shit is gay.

>>9286154
Loved it after reading it. It's a chore to read but the psychological depth is astonishing and I truly believe that it's made me a more empathatic person. My fav characters were the friar, the practical guy and that guys wife.

Also, I'm really starting to the despise the ironic and non-ironic women hating (and racism and antisemitism and redpilling etc etc) on here. I know most of it is /pol/ memery and that it has been here for a long time now but I feel like it has been getting worse and worse. It's poisonous and disgusting.
