Mrs. Dalloway...

I didn't expect this novel to be as difficult to read as it was. I got through it, and I think my familiarity with Faulkner and his use of stream-of-consciousness helped me understand it more easily. I had expected Great Expectations to be harder than it was, I should have known this would prove to be more difficult than it looked.

Virginia Woolf is deserving of her reputation. I hadn't read anything that she had written before this class, and now I will probably make the effort to seek more of her work out. Well done. Interesting, challenging, but rewarding.
