A Room of One's Own - PRE-READ

[Renata]

This is the Pre-Read thread for the July 2022 Classics selection. This month we will be reading A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf.

Please note that this is a SPOILER FREE discussion.

Who's planning to join in on this read? Why did you choose this classic book? Any expectations?

[Shaneka]

Hello Renata :) There is the potentiality for me to also read along this month! That said I progressed 0% through my last book with this group.

I've begun this a few times and gotten bored! Let's see if I could complete this time around!

[Andi]

I should get to it this weekend. It has been on my list.

[Elle]

I am looking forwards to reading this since a few of my favorite booktubers have recommended this. Also, I finished Mrs. Dalloway for the calendar reading challenge and fell in love with Woolf's writing. Can't wait to read this!

[Zainab]

I've never heard of this book before, but it interested me!
Its small size is another big motivator, I'll probably join in :)

[Kayla]

I’ve been a member of this group for quite awhile, but have yet to participate in a read! I’m going to commit to this one.

[Geeta]

I’m in on this. Looking forward to reading this. :)

[Patti]

got a copy on Amazon last week.

I read Digital Minimalism and Cal Newport would not shut up about this book. So I am really intrigued.

[Quinty (Taylor's Version)]

I hadn't heard from this book before, but it interested me, so I bought it. I bought a copy that was only €3 and also had The Voyage Out, so I guess I will read that too :) Curious as to if I will like it, as I don't usually like essays

[Elizabeth]

I've had a copy just sitting on my shelf for ages waiting to be read, so I'm excited to finally have a push to actually get to it.

[Renata]

I'll be chiming in on this one too. I expect the prose to be beautiful, as Virginia Woolf is known for her eloquence. She said that "books are the mirrors of the soul". Quite right.

[Wobbley]

I'll give this one a try. I quite liked To The Lighthouse, but found her stream of consciousness style got too over the top in Mrs. Dalloway, so I'm curious how I'll like this one.

I think I’m going to join this one since one of my bucket list goals is to read all of the classics. I don’t really know what to expect, but I look forward to reading it all the same!
