This is my first time reading Virginia Woolf and I am shocked by how silly the writing is. She does so many little bits and takes them to the absurd, nearly every page. I didn’t expect it to be as light-hearted and comedic as it yet I notice I am constantly smirking. It’s different from modern comedy, of course, but there’s a lot of personality here. If anyone is a Woolf fan, is all of her writing this playful? I’m sure I’ll finish this soon so let me know what to try next.

I am drawn in but not as much as the other novels I have read.

I want to finish it because I think it contains a lot of interesting concepts and things to think about - and those concepts mirror our own society a scary amount (so I find it interesting to reflect on that externally) - but when it comes to the writing and plot and characters within the actual novel doesn't really capture my heart.

P.S, I am literally the embodiment of Clarisse McClellan, she is me and I am her.
