George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss
I kept this one for last. Reliably reduces me to tears. About the myriad ways in which Maggie Tulliver gets sabotaged, harassed, bullied, gaslit, humiliated, hated, thwarted, condescended to, annihilated, killed. A very tough read.

Such an important thread about the value of the Total Mobility scheme! We need to fight to get this properly funded - no cap on costs, easier to book, round trips made possible. This matters! Let's make it an election issue!
I want to share a bit about my personal experiences with Total Mobility, as a user. I'm someone who can often use buses and trains (which I'll call mass transit here, because I consider taxis with TM part of the public transport system) but sometimes I can't. 1/?

George Eliot's Romola
Eliot sounds different in this novel. Set in the final years of 15th century Florence. The setting of 'big' historical events (Savonarola's impact) reveals Victorian problems: women hero-worshipping sour fathers who don't deserve it, charming bounders

Richard Powers' Playground
Polymath Powers tackles everything beautifully, yet again. Centred on the pacific ocean and the human inability not to fuck it up, but also generous about creatures' passions and play. And I am always nostalgic for the University of Illinois.

William Hazlitt's The Round Table
Keats loved it and so did I. 'Lord Shaftesbury somewhere remarks that a great many people pass for very good-natured persons, for no other reason than because they care about nobody but themselves.' Sharp, opinionated, and proud of it.

George Eliot's Felix Holt: The Radical
Published in 1866 but set in 1832, at the time of the First Reform Bill, with a focus on the fraught elections. Signals for the need of much deeper change in order to make elections work. Also, the empty lives of intelligent women.

Amy Bloom's I'll Be Right Here
About the long interconnected lives of Gazala, Samir, Anna and Alma. From World War Two in France, across the horror of the colonial wars in Algeria, to more settled lives in NYC and Poughkeepsie. Big sweep but it's the details that matter.

I ignored this book too long. About the lonely life of an ostracised weaver who has a form of epilepsy and who seeks refuge in counting his gold. One day his trove is stolen and a golden-haired toddler walks into his life. Quietly stunning.
