"I read to my husband from the George Eliot journal that I received for Christmas. It contains fascinating factoids about her day-to-day life, edited by her husband of less than a year, J. W. Cross, and thus a bit 'changed' from her original. I am fascinated that she knew so many prominent writers, poets, artists, philosophers and leaders of various "modern" movements. She communicated with Harriet Beecher Stowe regularly, and one of their topics of conversation was mysticism. I told my husband he could read the journal anytime, and he replied that he enjoyed hearing me read it to him. Eliot read to her soulmate, George Lewes, quite often for 3 hours per day! Another parallel between us?" http://www.karmaroadgettingofftheroundabout.com
