“All fixed, fast-frozen relationships, with their train of venerable ideas and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become obsolete before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and men at last are forced to face with sober senses the real conditions of their lives and their relations with their fellow men.” (The Communist Manifesto)

Here, we have our reading list for 2025. It's a good mix of her novels, short stories, esays, and biography. I'll tag them all in the comments for your perusal.

I can't wait to delve deeper into the world of Virginia Woolf. 📚📚📚

All are welcome to join us. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

I know that Shute was an Englishman who spent parts of his life in Australia, but I wonder if he spent time in the Pacific Northwest. He writes so fondly of it in the start of this novel, and it is also featured in On the Beach.

Not even mad that I had to put my book down to do this. 🩵

Virginia Woolf wrote a freaking masterpiece within the last few hours of her life, but was too talented to realize it. I‘m sad that she died thinking this shiny brilliance was but a trivial effort. This is a must read if you like Woolf.

5 Stars • "The Waste Land" is a 434-line modernist poem by T. S. Eliot, published in 1922. It's a complex, fragmented, and allusive work that reflects the disillusionment and despair of the post-World War I generation. The poem is divided into five sections: "The Burial of the Dead," "A Game of Chess," "The Fire Sermon," "Death by Water," and "What the Thunder Said." ⬇️
