Dear Middlemarch
I gave it my best shot, i really did. But you are simply too big of a book. I made it about 15% of the way into you before i had to give up. It took me a month to get that far. Usually i devour books, but while i was reading you, Middlemarch, i no longer loved reading. I couldn’t force myself to read. I would find something else to do in order to avoid further delve into Elliot’s world.
And so, as a new month begins, i just have to give up. There are other books to read, other worlds to explore. There are books i look forward to reading instead of avoiding. I gave it a good faith effort, i promise. But Middlemarch, you were just over my head.
