Middlemarch by George Eliot is the best book I’ve ever read. I could spend paragraphs upon paragraphs expounding on how spectacular, transcendent, and astonishingly perfect this book is. Or, I can accept that I don’t have the words to do it justice, and remain quietly thankful that this book exists and that I’m alive to read (and re-read) it.
