George Eliot's novel "Middlemarch" is one of my favorite novels. A true work of Art. I recently picked up used "Brick Lane" by Monica Ali. I have two novels by Jean Rhys in our book collection, "After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie" and "Quartet"-have not read these books by Rhys-someday I plan to read Attwood since I collect her writings. Years ago I was really into Bertolt Brecht-I took one year in college a Drama class and did a term paper on Brecht-peace
