It's Virginia Woolf's birthday. It reminded me of my first year at uni

By Stone_Brown1977

In my first year at uni I took an English class where we had to get through five books, and one of them was *Mrs Dalloway*. It was the first Woolf I’d ever read, so it basically introduced me to her. We were told to read it and break it down because it shows modernism and that whole stream-of-consciousness style, and they even mentioned how it connects to Joyce’s *Ulysses*. I really liked it—especially how she gets into relationships, the whole social setup, loneliness, and how time works. Kinda sad, though, because it’s still the only Woolf book I’ve read so far. With Virginia Woolf in mind today, I think I’ll just head to my local library and try to track down more of her books.
