I started reading Silas Marner this afternoon since none of my students showed up during my office hours.
How to read a book by George Elliott
It made me
Happy 
"Hard to get started on this goal, but then it went quickly"
How I did it: I started trying to read Silas Marner by using daily lit, but I found myself not reading the emailed sections of the book because I mostly have my computer on when I need to work, and I would skip them to read more important emails
Last week I purchased the book and set a goal for myself that it would be the next book I read. I then read it during my spare time.
Lessons & tips: Just choose a book, read it, and enjoy. After reading one of George Eliot's books, I now want to read others.
Resources: Originally daily lit, then amazon.com.

Next action: locate my copy of Middlemarch (I know there’s one in the house somewhere) and put it on my ‘to read’ shelf
Mill on the Floss
4 years ago
What an amazing book. I’ve also read Silas Marner, but I don’t remember it as well as the Mill on the Floss. If you like romance, comedy, countrysides, love, passion, honesty, and inner struggles – you will LOVE this book. I’ve always wondered why George Eliot chose to have a pen name. I had an essay in AP English about her and if my Grandmother hadn’t been an Eliot-phile, I would never have known she was a “she”. Thank god for Grandmothers.
