Virginia Woolf writes everything as if it were a poem.

This is not the sort of thing I typically read -- I am, in general, not a fan of classics. This one, however, was pretty good. It was very philosophical; the vast majority of the story is just various characters pondering life. And while I could have done with fewer characters doing so, it was really interesting and there were several times I reread a line over and over because I liked it so much. Mrs. Dalloway herself, and her love of life, was particularly enjoyable for me.

It's the flowery stream of consciousness writing for me.

What a sad and complicated and messy little book.
