Thanks! I never used to like Wordsworth, but in the past year he's grown on me so much with his concern with memory and deadening materialism. I think he's one of those authors you have to grow older with to really appreciate.

Woolf is just the most beautifully sensitive novelist. Nothing makes me cry like the end to The Waves. ;_;

Have you tried actually thinking critically about her writing style?
Its forgibable in a children/Young adult book series to only use about 5 words to desribe talking.
But in an "adult" novel? not acceptable.
In the The Casual Vacancy her message is as subtle as a punch in the face.
