It is a book originally published in eight instalments over the course of a year, not necessarily devoured in less than an eighth of that time on a Kindle. It is a book written for people with more time on their hands, and fewer demands on that time. It is a book written for a different age and a different mode of reading. Make no mistake, Middlemarch is a book I found, at times quite challenging.
