Ann Coulter and Silas Marner
Anyone ever notice this before? I'm reading Silas Marner right now, and just in passing the name "Ann Coulter" is used as a resident of Silas Marner's town. In the book, she has not followed advice of doctors and such and has given birth to an "idiot" child.

6. that is funny to see those two names together
Have been meaning to reread Silas Marner, read it in jr high and remember thinking it was the most boring book I had ever read at the time. I wondered if I would like it better with more life experience.

Actually was thinking I should reread all the classics I read in college (lit major) for the same reason; i.e. Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Woolf, Forster,DH Lawrence, etc.
