whats Middlemarch about?

Middlemarch is a masterpiece that is epic in scale about several families in a  the small town that is the book's namesake.  What is so brilliant about it is the depth of her character's and relationships.  There is maybe a cast of forty some odd characters and none of them are wasted or lack a dimension that leaves them flawed as something credible.  Mainly she focuses on a rather modernist theme of how individually we are isolated and unable to understand eachother because of limited and subjective consciousness.  How our hopes, prejudices, beliefs, and learned understandings distort our perception of eachother.  Through her main character Dorthea, Evans argues that that true selfless compassion is the only way we can see and communicate with another without being blinded by our usual egotistical haze.  Its a thousand something pages but very rewarding.  If you liked Silas Marner, you may want to check out Eliot's, The Mill on the Floss.  The story focuses on the character Maggie Tulliver and follows her as she grows up.  Partly it's a coming of age story the other part a story about relationships and regret.

What kinds of video games do you like?

I grew up playing them.  My Grandparents had an Atari with the one button joystick.  Then my parents bought us an NES when I was maybe eight.  RPG's is generally my favorite genre.  FFI was what introduced me and got me hooked to them.  In general I like good stories which is why RPG's appealed to me.  I could spend a half hour with Mario if I was bored a good RPG was like tackling a book.  I also like strategy games, generally stuff that you have to think about from move to move.  Some favorites were all of the Bioware infinity engine games (Baldur's Gate, BGSOA, BGTOB ect.)  as well as KOTOR I + II.  I don't think anyone gives Bioware's writing staff a run for their money even.  Early favorites growing up were FFIV and VI, Xenogears, Secret of Mana, PTO II,  Steel Panthers, PanzerGeneral, Civ II, and Sim City.

You like García Marquez? No wonder you suck.   

I know and to think they gave him a Nobel prize when there is so much more worthy manga around.

No, I don't.  Why don't you explain why you feel compelled to troll this thread.  Is it because I disagreed with you on the youtube one?  Seems rather petty to me.
