An author for grownups ...

... Why Read George Eliot? (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I agree with Paula that it is a very bad idea to assign Silas Marner to high school students, but I'm not sure assigning Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome is so bad. I read it in high school, and I thought it was funny how Ethan ends up with two shrews. I wasn't the only one in my class to think that, either. Maybe we were just a sick bunch.
