Let's Chat about Dracula and Middlemarch!

I read Dracula and Middlemarch for Victober. And (spoiler) I loved them both! Dracula is unintentionally hilarious! I really enjoyed trying to imagine the distance and difference between my own experience and that of the contemporary audience of the novel. In some ways, you could say this novel doesn't "age well" in the sense that it doesn't transcend its period. And yet, it ages so well! It is such a fun read!

Middlemarch was a reread for me and I loved it even more this second time. I love the intense study of the married life. I love the way the narrator guides us to finally come to understand how little we know our neighbors and therefore how we have no right to judge them. Great novel!
