Middlemarch
21. Middlemarch - George Eliot, 1874 (first-time reading)
This took me a while to read, but it was by virtue of its length rather than any lack of enthusiasm. I really liked it - it was easy to get into and the characters were easy to engage with. I read it because it was on our recommended list for English but I hadn't realised that it would talk so much about the Great Reform Bill, which was a cool coincidence because we were just studying it literally a few weeks ago in History. So it turned out to be both academically relevant and enjoyable.
