Middlemarch: should I continue?

By SilverFocus1993

I grabbed Middlemarch because I figured it’d match the whole reading mood I’ve been in after Anna Karenina and Mrs Dalloway. But I’m on page 157 and… wow, I’m just really bored. Everyone feels pretty unlikable to me, and I can’t stand how much it keeps getting stuck on religion/religious politics and medicine talk—it’s all so dry and tedious. Is there a point where it actually gets better, or is it basically like this the whole way through? Edit: Thanks for the replies! I’m gonna keep going for at least another 100 pages and hope it clicks for me 🤞
