Maybe 4,5

Now, this was quite dense and at times even inaccessible. It took me some time to get into the book but it's really really worth a read

The Egoist is definitely one of the most dense Victorian books I have read. It's a very unusual love triangle; a man torn between two women, both of them not willing to marry him. Sir Willoughby is very frustrating and arrogant but incredibly well developed characters, as well as Clara and Laetitia are. Finishing this feels like an accomplishment, but a good one because I really appreciated Meredith's writing and humour.

Wonderful in a dry-humor kind of way
