Your choice!

I read North and South a few years ago but didn't think it was all that memorable, better than Middlemarch, but still not something I'm likely to read again for a very long time.  I just finished Wives and Daughters and thought that was much better.  So pick one of the three and I'll expect a report by the end of the week on one of these lesser known but still classic works.  For extra credit, read two or all three and write a 2 million word dissertation comparing and contrasting them.
