Book Favorite

"One of the greatest books ever written by a woman, especially in those early days. Although Mary Anne Evans gave herself a male pen name, she showed incredible ambition and scope in her writing—the world she created, the characters she imagined. I love that line in the book that reads: “The really delightful marriage must be that where your husband was a sort of father, and could teach you Hebrew, if you wished it.” It was hard to be a woman in those days, but her storytelling was exceptional."

DNF @ 28%.

I'm not having much luck with contemporary reads lately, the last two being DNF's because they aren't interesting me at all. I struggled with this from the start and after hat bit where Michael was mentioned on the way to the airport, I just knew he knew something about it...so despite the book boring me I skipped ahead to see if I was right...and I was. It still didn't make me want to finish the book though.

Not in the mood for contemporaries right now, it would seem.
