Casaubon is one of the greatest characters ever invented. Not a week goes by I don't think of him and see (often on Substack) would-be Casaubons seeking the Key to All Mythologies about tech, AI, startups, etc. Glorious every time.

I will never forget the moment I read the last passage in Middlemarch. I was sweeping the kitchen floor, listening to the audiobook. The last line hit me with such force I made an audible cry and stood frozen, broom in hand, tears filling my eyes. It is a quote I come back to again and again when my life feels small and hidden. I loved this review.
