I'm currently reading "Middlemarch" by George Eliot -- the pen name of English author Mary Ann Evans -- at night to help me fall asleep, and I'm noticing that the length of the sentences in my Mastodon posts has gotten longer and longer as a result.

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?
The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!
Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.
Best part? There all in public domain, so you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!

Serious thinkers about ethics and lives worth living should spend less time on the trolley problem and more on "Middlemarch".

“We are on a perilous margin when we begin to look passively at our future selves, and see our own figures led with dull consent into insipid misdoing and shabby achievement.”
Excerpt From
Middlemarch
George Eliot -
“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
~ Mary Ann Evans (AKA George Eliot), Middlemarch

“In an article in the Westminster Review in 1856, ‘The Natural History of German Life’, George Eliot had written that the great function of art, including novels, was to widen our sympathies, to ‘amplify experience and extend our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot’. ”

“Trouble is so hard to bear, is it not? – How can we live and think that any one has trouble – piercing trouble – and we could help them, and never try?”
Excerpt From
Middlemarch
George Eliot -
“We are on a perilous margin when we begin to look passively at our future selves, and see our own figures led with dull consent into insipid misdoing and shabby achievement.”
Excerpt From

Excerpt From
Middlemarch
George Eliot -
“And thus thy fall hath left a
kind of blot,
To mark the full-fraught man
and best indued
With some suspicion.”Henry V: II, ii, 138–40
Excerpt From
Middlemarch
George Eliot
#middleMarch #GeorgeEliot #bookstodon‘This Shakespearean allusion adds depth to our understanding of the characters and situations in “Middlemarch,” by suggesting that moral complexity and susceptibility to failure are inherent to the human condition.’
I have to look things up.. :)

“To mercy, pity, peace, and love
All pray in their distress,
And to these virtues of delight,
Return their thankfulness.
. . . . . . . .
For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face;
And Love, the human form divine;
And Peace, the human dress.William Blake (1757 – 1827): Songs of Innocence (1789)
Excerpt From Middlemarch (1871)

May visit you and me.”Excerpt From
