“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 !

If you have read this book, maybe it will interest you as it did me that she acknowledged in her diary that this novel was autobiographical.

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

erzascarletbookgasm This was my first Woolf. 👍 What an experience. 5y

OriginalCyn620 This was my choice too! I haven‘t read it yet. 💙 5y

bailed

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.

Curiouser_and_curiouser Hi @AGO715 and welcome to Litsy! I have a couple of her books and recently acquired To the Lighthouse, I was very excited to explore Virginia Woolfe but after only reading a chapter or two of this one I've dropped it like a hot potato. I would like to try again some other time I think as well as the other books I have of hers but yes, I can see why you did not like it. I will be 47 on the 29th of June, next week 5y

ImperfectCJ Welcome to Litsy! I've never been able to get into To the Lighthouse, either. Still think I ought to make it all the way through, but "ought to" isn't a strong motivator for me. :-) 5y

kspenmoll @akckitty @ephemeralwaltz Thank you both. Maybe I needed to wait this long to it so I appreciate the novel more deeply. I am a big believer in that books call to me at the right time. 5y

kspenmoll @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Misty, its literally the best “room” of the house! Wish you lived closer; it would be fun to have you over for coffee, tea, beer, wine etc. 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @kspenmoll I wish I did too!!! 💞💞 5y

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

Leftcoastzen Oh yes! I haven‘t read this in a long time , I remember having similar feelings. 5y

batsy Perfectly put! I read it the first time for a Modernism class in college and appreciated it, but when I read it straight through the second time some time after I felt that stirring, that jangling ... an intense connection. 5y

BarbaraBB So I should probably give it a second go too... great review! 5y

LeahBergen Nice review! 5y

rretzler I tried years ago but just couldn‘t get into it. I recently purchased the audiobook on sale thinking that I needed to try it again. 5y

merelybookish @Leftcoastzen It truly is a masterpiece! 5y

merelybookish @batsy Thanks for that! I appreciate that you understand. It almost felt spiritual, which sounds a bit weird when talking about reading a novel. 🙂 5y

merelybookish @BarbaraBB Thanks! Yes I think it's worth trying again! This time I appreciated what she managed.to do stylistically and what she was trying to convey! 5y

merelybookish @TrishB @rretzler It really is beautiful! So I say yes, give it a go! 5y

merelybookish @LeahBergen Thank you! 😘 5y

readordierachel Sounds like a lovely experience 💕 5y

sarahbarnes So well-said!! I‘m nearly finished with it and am sad to see it end. Re-reading it now has been such a poignant experience for me in many ways. 5y

Virgina Woolf's describing emotional labour in 1927.
@sarahbarnes @bookandcat

saresmoore Oh, wow. I love this. 5y

sarahbarnes Yes!! Wow. 5y

merelybookish @saresmoore @sarahbarnes It's pretty cool! She was describing something we've only just found a name for. 5y

sarahbarnes Clearly it‘s a long-standing tradition. 😂 5y
