Middlemarch, in a
free download version , or the
Audible book on tape version, is my current daily commute companion, and following the tribulations and triumphs of these 19th century characters, especially the fate of rich, beautiful, dutiful Dorothea, has energized my compassion for every person I encounter, while highlighting flaws of social culture we all constrained by. That said, this is the funniest book for grownups ever, with turns of language that makes the world glow. Read it, or re-read it - it will help you be a better person.
