Thoughts?
Plan on starting Mrs. Dalloway, what are some opinions of that one...thanks!
I've only read To The Lighthouse but it's dope
Why her name be Woolf when she's such a fox?

she's pretty good and I usually dislike women writers pretty intensely. I preferred Dalloway to Lighthouse but that does seem to be a minority opinion around here. There's another anon who swears The Waves is her best.
Definitely check out The Waves.

dalloway is the best entry point for Woolf. Enjoy.
Are any of her other works on par with Lighthouse/Dalloway/Waves?

Can you describe to me what you appreciate about Woolf? I've always been bored of fuck by her. Maybe you can help me read her better.

In quality, Orlando (not in style though)

You enjoy Woolf the same way you would enjoy your wife, see the flaws and doubts yet embrace them, preferring to ride the winds of her imagination with her, holding steadfast and loving.

Thanks, I was going for that.
Loved it and will probably read it again some day.
Also for those who have read it, BBC's In Our Time podcast has done an episode on the novel which is quite enjoyable.

Do you have to enjoy everything just because others do?
has anyone read 'the Voyage Out'?
I got a copy as a gift
her books usually tire me out in a good way (tho i've read only Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse) and she writes the most beautifully sad interactions between two people you can imagine. She is a very trustworthy and honest author

I had to read it for highschool, but didn't enjoy the first reading.
Subsequent ones were enjoyable, however.
Some of the lines in The Waves are indescribably beautiful. Only read like a third of To The Lighthouse but I remember reacting similarly.

And if you're an adulterous homosecks?

Can you explain Orlando to me? I think something went over my head when I read it because it was so shit (solid prose though).
Pretty much all I got out of it was the angst-ridden story of an aristocratic time-travelling tranny and I hated when she thought she found a clever workaround for being lazy by addressing the reader as the narrator and overlooking certain parts of pertinent conversations or musings by indicating that it's knowledge that wasn't recorded and thus cannot be repeated by virtue of it being a biography.
