Side Note on Silas Marner - I have been gut punched in the final chapter of great novels. I have been gut punched in the middle of great novels. But I feel like this is the first case in which I was out of breath at the end of the first chapter of a novel. Jesus christ. No gentle expositional layout? Felt like I came running out on the field and got met with a bat to the head.
And having re-read the first chapter tonight I must say...still holds. Man.
