I have now decided that Virginia Woolf is not my cup of tea. I'm not cerebral enough to read her run on sentences and paragraphs. I've tried her fiction and nonfiction and I just don't get it.

Feminist Fiction
Virginia Woolf is worthy of her praise, and her skillfulness with words is most apparent in this work. Many of her prescient statements still resonate today. She artfully weaves illustrative tales within her imploring passages, and both are thought-provoking. Woolf is witty, sharp, and indipensable to the canon of women's rights. I also recommend Orlando.
