This was my first attempt at reading a book by Virginia Woolf.
I really tried. I just could not get a grip on the story, no matter how I tried.
Maybe another time?

Travelling to Niksu today!
You were quick, the book is here. Thanks sobergirl!
This was my first time reading Mrs. Dalloway and I enjoyed alot. The stream of consciousness-style is not easy to read but I think it just needed time to read. No wonder the housewife Laura Brown runs away to a motel to read this book in The Hours. I was surprised how many characters there were in this book and it left me wondering how totally different the book would have been if the title would be something else than Mrs.Dalloway...
I need to buy this to my own private shelf and get back to this again later(The Hours needs rereading as well). Thanks to sobergirl for offering the book to us. Next this goes to dotdot, along with Jane Austen.

Thank you, Niksu. I got the book tonight.
I really enjoyed reading Mrs. Dalloway. I'm going to buy myself a copy of my own, not because the big role the city of London has in it but because it's a wonderful novel. Mrs. Dalloway really is a novel of contradictions, of youth and maturity, of young and old, poor and rich, sexes and above all of life and death. I couldn't help feeling compassion for all the characters.
I'll send Mrs. Dalloway to Jellyfish67 tomorrow.

This arrived last week, and I'm looking forward to reading it - I read The Hours a while back which was heavily based around Mrs Dalloway, so it will be interesting to compare the two!
Thanks for sending

Book arrived yesterday Boxing Day, thanks. Will be my last book to read for this year. Today is Sunday, though the date difference here shows 26th. Merry Christmas and here's wishing all a Better Year ahead.
VariC has pm'd me her add, will send book off to her. Didn't finish reading my first book by Virginia Woolf, just couldn't get into it no matter how many times I tried. Too many characters and I don't know whether I'm reading about Clarissa on the day of her party or she's actually talking about the past. Decided not to continue after that car arriving at Buckingham Palace, and new characters come up speculating who was in it. I hope VariC will enjoy it better.
I have the book now. Thanks for sending, bearyfriend, and thanks for the ray, Sobergirl!
I guess I wasn't in the proper mood for reading this book. I just couldn't get into the story at all, but read it more for the style. Woolf's writing is really good, and I managed to practically lose myself into the book, its description of upper-class British life. But then I began to notice that I actually had no idea what was happening in the book, I was just going through the motions of reading, with little comprehension. And as I was just reading for the style, I figured I had gotten enough out of it already and just left it be somewhere in the middle. Still, it wasn't a negative experience and I could see myself reading some other Woolf, or even trying this one again, when I'm better able to concentrate.
Sobergirl, as I seem to be the last person in the ray, any wishes on what to do with this now?
