How's Adam Bede, sparafucile? It is the one major George Eliot I can't remember re-reading since my teens. I was guiding a groups of American Methodists in Westminster Abbey at Poets' Corner, and the leader hadn't heard of Adam Bede, and made a note of it. (As a good liberal, George Eliot makes sure that the important religious element in her novels is carried by a different tradition - Methodism in Adam Bede, Roman Catholicism in Romola, Judaism in Daniel Deronda. *)
Now reading C S Lewis Out of the Silent Planet. Recently finished Colm Toibin The South.
* And I haven't re-read that either.
