Started Silas Marner

I decided to read Silas Marner with some trepidation - even though it is a pretty short book, I have heard many people complain about having to read it in high school. I am actually enjoying it more than Brideshead Revisited! This is my first George Eliot book, I was never required to read anything by her in high school or college. I am glad because I don't think I would have appreciated it as much as I do now.
