These stories were my introduction to George Eliot, and it was lackluster at best. I feel that “The Lifted Veil“ was an underdeveloped idea. “Brother Jacob“ had more depth to it, exploring the deplorable behavior of David Faux. It had a real narrative flair to it. Unfortunately, neither of these blew me away. I have a sense that Eliot's longer works will be more worthwhile. Fingers crossed...
pickA very interesting dark gothic Novella exploring what would happen if we could read minds and see the future. I enjoyed the story and loved the writing which was atmospheric
Up next 🎧 A novella for my Catching Up On The Classics Reading Challenge. Middlemarch was one of my favorite reads last year; looking forward to reading more by George Eliot! #bookspinbingo

After reading The Great Gatsby in one sitting a few weeks ago, I decided to search out some classics that could be read in one day. This one caught my attention, so I picked it up today. It was a good read. Very interesting.
