Thanks for putting this group together. I have owned my copy for around 20 years now (I bought it while I was doing my undergrad)! I think I could do with a bit of motivation to read it! Hopefully I will be able to do this!Pan Alchemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110169986067877098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246380981479604275.post-14672866593642754612016-06-08T09:40:17.846+01:002016-06-08T09:40:17.846+01:00I think I'd be the same if I tried to read it ...I think I'd be the same if I tried to read it alone.

I have Middlemarch on my Classics Club list and have been avoiding it, so it's nice to have a readalong to kick me into gear. <br /><br />I might go peruse my local bookshop for a shiny copy of this book, in preparation of reading with you all. I'll be aiming to write a weekly post, but I'm sure I'll be active on the twitter hashtag too. I'm @bookybecksa there.

I literally used it as a doorstop for a few months, lol. But then I did read it and it was amazing! I'm definitely due a reread so I'm so happy you're hosting this :)Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026557908489456079noreply@blogger.com
