If I have never read Virginia Woolf, is 'Orlando' a good book to start?

Matthew Williams Orlando is not exactly representative of her body of work. I would actually call Orlando a wild card. I would start with To The Lighthouse or Mrs. Dalloway if you want to have a general feel for her work. I have an excellent time reading Woolf. Don't let others scare you off. Virginia Woolf is reader-friendly!
Kimberly If you are looking for something to read by Virginia Woolf I would read Orlando or Mrs. Dalloway, but if you are just looking for a good fun book I would pass on reading anything by Virginia Woolf. The writing is very dense and it will not at all be a fast or easy read.
