I am interested in reading this book over and over again in the hopes that some day I'll understand every facet of it.
This is not my favorite book, but I am very interested in studying it.

5.0

this is one of those books where I just knew it would be a new favorite from the first chapter. I flew through this in one sitting, despite the slow pace and utter lack of plot. I personally am fascinated by free indirect discourse and have recently been converted to being a fan of stream of consciousness narration. I also am not usually a big fan of books set over the span of only one day, but here I am with a huge exception. 

I was surprised at how familiar this book felt, and then I remembered I read The Hours five and a half years ago. I had forgotten the sapphic element (a welcome surprise!) and mistakenly thought that Clarissa was going to kill herself.
