I know Woolf admired Proust's writings, and you can tell she is very influenced by him in this book.

Kinda boring right now

I decided to start over 1/3 of the way in. I needed to reread it in a more meditative mindset to appreciate it and I think it was worth it!

I get it now

Ok so I’m reallllllly liking this one so far. I like how everything that has taken place has only been in one day up to this point so the chapters are jumping from different peoples perspectives. Very cool to learn the inter-workings of these characters and how they view themselves and each other. So far worse character is for sure the dad and wtf he’s so pick me I’m a baby attitude is crazzzzy

Writing is beautiful but I do unfortunately want to beat Mr ramsay into a pulp

heb het lezen weer eens uitgesteld, who’s surprised!

A few years since my last read of this

Gonna read short books to catch up w/ my reading goal😬

My new favorite book, Absolutely outstanding.

What am I reading actually… pg 161 “For the mass loomed before her; it protruded; she felt it pressing on her eyeballs. Then, as if some juice necessary for the lubrication of her faculties were spontaneously squirted, she began precariously dipping among the blues and umbers, moving her brush hither and thither… so that her hand quivered with life…”

I can already tell this will be a favorite. Amazing.

There’s not much plot going on in this novel. It’s a novel about tone. It reads with a tone of an elegy acting as the glue. It’s a mournful lament for all that is lost as we approach death. Mrs. Ramsey is a character that can be both in and out of time. At the dinner party, she is “in” time, almost courting loss. When she plunges into time and mortality, it is a way of martyring herself. A lot going on here

I dont understand whats happening

So excited to be back on track

Enjoying this so far

its becoming more and more apparent this one warrants a reread..

But it sounds nice to read

Already confused

snap de ballen van wat ik net heb gelezen

I’m ngl this book is confusing af

what people had shed and left - a pair of shoes, a shooting cap, some faded skirts and coats in wardrobes - these alone kept the human shape and in the emptiness indicated how once they were filled and animated; how once hands were busy with hooks and buttons; how once the look glass had held a face; had held a world hollowed out in which a figure turned, a hand flashed, the door opened, in came children rushing

this is a lot lol

“he could almost pity these mild cultivated people, who would be blown sky high, like bales of wool and barrels of apples, one of these days by gunpowder that was in him.” mmmmm

Exquisite <3

“he would have written better books if he had not married.” REF TAKE THEM OUT WTH

humorous yet addresses heavy emotions and romance

De novo a fantástica sensação de voar de cabeça de personagem para cabeça de personagem! ☺️

Parte I - finalizei cap. 5.
