/lit/ - Literature

>HAAAAARK

Why does it seem like Lit hates women so much? I've heard so many people on this board say that women have written nothing of value, is it just a meme or do people seriously believe that? Reading To the Lighthouse and it's one of the most enjoyable experience I've had reading.

I liked this a lot even though it was written by a woman, took a lot of concentration to read though.

This tops anything written by a man

What does /lit/ think of this book? I read the introduction and was instantly hooked.

This shit here. Maybe it makes me an idiot but fuck me of this shit isn’t hard to follow. I’m not sure whos talking, who’s thinking or if they’re actually talking out loud or thinking in the first place or if they’ll ever get to the lighthouse or just think and talk about how nice it would be to go. I’ve tried four times to read this shit over the past two years.

>Late XVIII century England
>Beach house-parlour where balls are held
>Big family composed entirely by women
>Mostly old women whos husbands are beta males
>The younger women make out to their mothers, grandma's discontent with the young boys of a nearby town
>The have to do i tin secret so they do it in the lighthouse

One of you claimed a couple weeks ago that this had the most immersive prose they've ever read but really it is just so fucking mediocre. Why do you always lie to me /lit/?

why is this book so boring? mind you, I like Virginia Woolf but I can never finish this fucking book for the life of me.

Well that was fucking boring.

>women in charge of writing

is anything ever going to happen?

Any opinions on "To the Lighthouse"? I finished it yesterday, and felt the book was well put together, and conveyed a lot of important messages about time, family relationships, and the meaning of life.

How's this compared to her other works? I've read Mrs Dalloway, The Waves and some of her short stories. Eh, I guess it won't be as good as The Waves, but it will still be solid Woolf. To make this thread more pointless, let's have a Woolf general.

sorry /lit/
