oh virginia woolf, genius of geniuses! she somehow manipulates english as if it were french, and i envy her for it.
i wanted to underline everything so instead i underlined nothing. i will definitely have to reread in a few years.

the most experimental book i've ever read. i can't believe how woolf managed to pull this off.
if it were any other author, it would have been a disaster. but our queen pushed through and finished this short novel.

Love/hate. Love when I was reading an extended coming-of-age story, beautifully and poetically written, in which you get to know the different characters and their interwovenness. Hate whenever I felt not intelligent enough to really grasp the meaning of certain parts of the book and when I sometimes didn’t understand what I was reading. But that may all be part of it. Will have to read again, and perhaps then I will feel comfortable to rate The Waves.

In the beginning, I thought it'd be impossible to understand, but in the end, I felt like it understood me: "Yet I cannot find any obstacle separating us. There is no division between me and them. As I talked I felt 'I am you'."
There's much I don't understand about this book. But in the end, I can't help but feel unreasonably alive.
