I read two works by Virginia Woolf this month (not counting my DNF attempt at Mrs Dalloway) and I think I can conclude that her style of writing is just not for me. I found it a chore to read, and while the language is beautiful, I guess I’m a plebeian sort of reader who wants more plot and less stream of consciousness. I loved the film Orlando when it first came out way back in the early 90s, and I think that’s because it captured the aspects of the novel that I did enjoy.
