To the Lighthouse

I started reading this. Great opening, but I got distracted and need to get back into it.

oh, is it good? what makes it better than Journey to the End of the Night or Death on the Installment plan (in case you've read them)?

I love Celine and I just got 'North', I'm wondering if I should have picked this one.

I cracked up when I realized the creepy marauding Classics kids mentioned in The Rules of Attraction were from The Secret History.

I've got to pick The Metamorphosis by Kafka.

It's the only book I've read like 5 times.
