Just finished reading Mrs. Dalloway.

So we're all agreed that Virginia Woolf is the greatest writer in the history of the English language?

I mean, he kinda lives through Clarissa near the end and all, but man, getting inside his head was the greatest part of the book.

Also, the party was boring to me. Funny how the ending of the book was the most dull.

Yeah Mrs. Dalloway is fucking great. I find it really hard to into a lot of her more dense books like To the Lighthouse or The Waves. Here's an article about Woolf on solitude. It's pretty interesting
