What are these, poohbear, I searched and found nothing.
It would be impossible for me to rely on the audio only because for one thing the long descriptive phrases put me to sleep (literally). But when I go back and read I find myself highlighting frequently, e.g. "dregs with struggling flies in them." "...wind was turning up the feathers of a cock..." "ill-plenished". Am also surprised by how much I missed in the audio.
If I had not joined the club and found everyone's comments so interesting, causing a rethink of my initial urge to drop
DD for something more to my liking. Especially 'slogged' through Mirah chapters, but found Chapter XXIII (Klesmer and Gwendolen) engrossing.
I will finish the book if only because I so admire Eliot's vocabulary and not infrequent flashes of insight.
