Silas Marner by George EliotMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This started off as almost a chore. I couldn't get into the writing or the story, but around halfway through it improved quite a bit for me. It's true, it was pretty feel-good toward the end, but I don't mind that. I liked the commentary on the change and industrialization, which seems rare for novels of this time (Dickens notwithstanding).
Anyway, it was short enough to be a cute introduction to George Eliot. I'll be on the lookout for Middlemarch.
