Virginia Woolf

underwhelming, i expected too much or something else perhaps
challenging reflective slow-paced

read the first page and knew, virginia woolf and I would have been best friends

I can see myself rereading it again in 5-10 years. I’ll appreciate it more once I read all the authors Woolf references and sit with her ideas a bit longer. But even without reading the work of everyone she referenced, I still felt her. It’s not a long read, but it’s dense with meaning—part essay, part lecture, part her stream of thought. I wish I read it in print. It would have allowed me to soak it more. Some passages really hit, others I want to return to with a better understanding. Definitely one to revisit. Possibly the first read of this year that I felt this way about. See in few years

she’s a yapper

I personally don’t like Woolf that much as a writer. This was interesting but dragged on.
inspiring reflective medium-paced

Well-written and interesting, even if I disagreed with a lot of it conceptually
