Upcoming: Middlemarch watch-along

[birdienl]

Recently, I was reminded of the wonderful George Eliot novel Middlemarch twice. First, I read the book My life in Middlemarch by Rebecca Mead, a wonderful exploration by Mead about her favourite novel. Then, Miss Laurie from Old-Fashioned Charm posted a review about the 1994 adaptation of Middlemarch.

So, I couldn't deny it anymore, I really needed to either rewatch or reread Middlemarch! I chose a rewatch and I thought I'd share it with you all, with a watch-along.
How's it going to work? I will watch one episode every week and post my thoughts about it here. I'll also try and come up with some discussion questions. And, at the end of the watch-along, there will be a give-away!!

I hope you'll join in and watch or rewatch Middlemarch with me! I plan to post my first episode 'review' at the end of this week.

What a fun idea! I've been meaning to read Middlemarch, perhaps you shall inspire me! :)

Good idea! I'd like to join in, but I'm in the middle of watching the old "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" miniseries right now. Maybe once I'm done I can watch it, even though I'll be behind you. :-)

I hope so, it's a great book!

Ah, it's only 1 hour a week.... ;-)

But I will welcome your input on my posts whenever it comes!

Love this idea! :)

I don't think I'll have time to re-watch along, but I'll look forward to reading your reviews. :)

But you did watch it before then? In that case you still can contribute to the discussions!

I have seen it before, but it was at least a year ago, so I'm not sure my memory will be very accurate. But I'll still add two cents here and there. :)

Yeah, but I'm only allowed two DVDs at a time by my Netflix plan, and with "Tinker Tailor" and a movie I got to watch with my dad, I can't get any more right now. (I'm old-school -- I get them to send me actual DVDs! :-) )

Ah, I understand. I checked YouTube for you, but Middlemarch is not on there either.
