First part of the Second Sex.

To-be-read for sure, but before beginning the second tome, I'll let my brain recover, haha.

Very interesting, I just love how she writes, how she builds her arguments. And the amount of research is just mind blowing.

#TLT #ThreeListThursday Thanks for the tag @dabbe
1.A Room Of Ones Own/ To The Lighthouse are both faves love Woolf
2.Slaughterhouse Five
3.The Sun Also Rises
4.White Noise

In short, yes this is absolutely worth the 18 hrs on audio. I greatly enjoyed listening to this while working and coloring. Made me deeply reflective about how books have changed the world and I‘m super zen now.

Got to the end of a fascinating chapter of this book and wanted to talk to my sister about it… Phone call devolved into discussing the origins of the story from the movie The Mask of Zorro(We did find the original novel: The Curse of Capistrano by Johnston McCulley - published in 1919)…. I wish I could say this was abnormal for us.

Fascinating and insightful.

I don‘t know what‘s weirder the fact that I had to wait for over a month for this audiobook to be available or the fact that I waited for a month to read this book…

Our February #buddyread is VW's third novel, published in 1922, Jacob's Room. The main protagonist, Jacob Flanders, is revealed to us through the opinions of other characters. This is considered an important text as VW moves away from conventional plot driven fiction to a more experimental, modernist way of writing.
