“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come.” Beautifully written !

I just open my January Santa , collection of 3 Virginia Woolf books . Let‘s start reading ❤️
”I am drowning, my dear, in seas of fire.”

Not her lighthouse in the picture, but one of the few left in Florida.
Kind of an obvious choice for this prompt, but this has long since been one of my favorite books. The ridiculous number of tabs is from a paper I wrote - this is my college copy of the book. #letstravelaugust #lighthouse @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
Unpopular opinion: I did not like To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. I couldn‘t get into it at all. I finished the book, but when it was over I feel like I didn‘t get anything from it at all. I don‘t know if it‘s because of the writing style, the plot not being the focus, or maybe I‘m not old enough to fully grasp the concept.

Believe it or not, I have never read this!
I finished this last night and then spent today thinking about the experience. It feels so personal, something I can't easily describe
I read this in college years ago, and I know I liked it, or I liked that I could understand a 'difficult' novel. But reading it now, I felt it. On nearly every page, something spoke, or jangled, or stirred me. It feels like mine now, a book I'll return to again and again.
Thanks for reading with me @sarahbarnes
Virgina Woolf's describing emotional labour in 1927.
