Having finished Mrs. Dalloway and having loved it, I am now half way through Dina's Book by H. Wassmo which is soooooo good that I have set Clarel aside until I finish this one. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO READ DINA'S BOOK!!!! Perhaps the best book I have read all year!~! belva

>115: Belva, I too loved Mrs. Dalloway and felt the need to read it the second time. I loved the reread even more and will visit it again sometime. I also second (or third) the suggestions from Ellie and Berly to read The Hours. I even liked the movie version of it!

... I've not yet read it. It sounds really good so with you and Berly both recommending it, I must read it soon. And I loved Mrs. Dalloway!~! And Virginia Woolf; I just find everything about her fascinating. hugs to the both of you, belva

Belva - if you liked Mrs Dalloway, have you read Michael Cunningham's The Hours? It's about three women, each connected in their own way to Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf, a 50s housewife who loves the book, and a kind of modern incarnation of Mrs Dalloway herself...

... Tolstoy When You Are Engulfed In Flames by David Sedaris The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf X The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist The Iliad by Homer The Odyssey by Homer The Chronicle of Narnia ...

# 191 Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf my thoughts and comments: I loved this little book though I really feel like I didn't truly understand it very well and want to read it again rather soon. From about the 20th page in, I felt like I was reading poetry. I love how Ms. Woolf puts ...

... but have decided to put that off until after the holidays. I am "tomed" out. I am currently reading Clarel and Mrs. Dalloway with the odds and ends of Christmas stories thrown in. And I think that through the holidays I will just chill and read some comfies and cozies. Taking a ...

... reading plan of Les Miserables now and am putting it off until after the holidays. I am currently reading Clarel and Mrs Dalloway and just finished a couple of Debbie Macomber cozy Christmas reads and think that I will stick with Christmas reads and lighter fare throughout the ...

... I think it has proven and will continue to be proven a timeless epic of War and Peace. I am now reading Clarel and Mrs. Dalloway by the awesome Virginia Woolf and enjoying that one very much indeed. (along with my interspersed Christmas stories) Have decided to put Les Miserables ...

... hate to admit defeat. So far, I'm not finding her books particularly engaging, although I plan to finish this one and read Mrs. Dalloway.

... by Leo Tolstoy Bröderna Lejonhjärta by Astrid Lindgren The 2 1/2 pillars of wisdom by Alexander McCall Smith Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman A prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Harry Potter ...

... to the 1001 Books list for a few short entries -- The Thirty-Nine Steps (only 120 pages long), To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway, which are both quite short. I know it's kind of cheating, but I want to get to 50, and I figure if the books are on the 1001 list, they must be worthwhile.

Virginia Woolf 1. To the Lighthouse 2. The Second Common Reader 3.A Writer's Diary 4.Moments of Being 5.Mrs. Dalloway 6.Night and Day 7.Three Guineas 8.A Room of One's Own Beatles1964

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf amongst my favorite Virginia Woolf books. i suppose i first read it in the 70's and have read it a number of times since, the latest being around the time the hours was made into a movie.

... Girls by Edna o'Brien The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve Welcome to the World, Baby Girl by Fannie Flagg Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf The Woman Who Walked Into Doors by Roddy Doyle

62. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Hmm. I think I need to read this again--it's so dense. The language is beautiful, and it's a hard book to read in sections. It took me a while to get into it, but about a quarter of the way through, I really started to like it.

... my book club to read Bleak House, so now I have the incentive to finish it. I plan to read To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway next. I'm going to make it to 50 no matter what!

I finished Mrs. Dalloway and wanted sooo much to love it. Ended up liking it instead. I will be starting Wuthering Heights next.

98- Mrs. Dalloway Woohoo! I am no longer a Woolf virgin! I wanted soooo much to love this book but it left me a bit cold actually. I really wish I knew why. 3.5/5

11- Mrs. Dalloway Woohoo! I am no longer a Woolf virgin! I wanted soooo much to love this book but it left me a bit cold actually. I really wish I knew why. 3.5/5

... Cunningham's The Hours (I only saw the movie) -- interwoven stories exploring the author, the character and a reader of Mrs. Dalloway. But with all the opportunities now to hear writers talk about their stories, I increasingly hear them contradict reader interpretations -- based on ...

Finished Mrs Dalloway which I unfortunately found really tedious. I had to force myself to finish. Found myself drifting off continuously. Perhaps I'm a bit dim for this sort of literature. Oh well, now for a big boofy blokes book......Little Women

... man, and it is natural he should die (those who have read it will understand). I need to quit procrastinating and finish Mrs Dalloway already! 3/5

... I'll check out Orlando. I had never read Woolf before, and didn't enjoy my first taste, but I'm determined to keep going. Mrs. Dalloway may be next. She made a short appearance in The Voyage Out, and was one of the more interesting characters. Thanks for stopping by -- happy reading!

... but man, what a walk along the road of tedium. And speaking of tedium, I have to also agree with Hera about Ms. Woolf. Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse were sheer torture and Orlando was a bit better only because it was so crazy. Give me Faulkner any day, if I have to deal with ...

@Nickelini I've just finished The Hours so now on to Mrs Dalloway seems like the right thing to do!

I am reading both Mrs. Dalloway and Neuromancer. The two couldn't be more different.

... will spoil this for me. Maybe it will inspire me? Reading Virginia Woolf will enrich your reading of The Hours. Mrs Dalloway and The Hours are the ultimate companion read combination. Have fun.

... Macomber 189. Shirley, Goodness and Mercy by Debbie Macomber 190. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy 191. Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf 192. English Diaries and Journals by Kate O'Brien

I starting with what I liked best, but with the first three very close together: Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf A prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving Emma by Jane Austen Mannen som Elsket Yngve by Tore Renberg (translation: The man who loved Yngve) I, robot by Isaac Asimov

... monuments. The story takes place in a 24-hour period, so it's pretty fast-paced. Also loved (from many years ago) Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and A Room of One's Own. Completely (!) different kind of literature. :) Happy reading Belva!

I must say I enjoyed Mrs Dalloway and have heard wonderful things about To the Lighthouse and Orlando. I also have The Waves and A Room of One's Own to read, but didn't rate Between the Acts, which I hadn't heard of previously but had to read at university... Just my 2 pennies' worth! ...

Belva my darling dear, Mrs. Dalloway is one of Virginny's all-time out-of-the-park homers, and it's short. Also, though less short, the delicious Orlando shouldn't be missed. Lovely, lovely writing in each of them. Starting there will lead to wonderful places, I predict. xoxo

I've been trying to get through Mrs. Dalloway for a few weeks now, I'm halfway. I'm hoping to finish it this month, it's interesting but it's not what I would call light reading. And putting it away for a few days makes it even more difficult to keep up with what's happening...

... Lover 686 To The Lighthouse 687 Tarka the Otter 689 The Sun Also Rises 695 The Murder of Roger Ackroyd 698 Mrs. Dalloway 699 The Great Gatsby

Finished The Hours by Michael Cunningham today. A well written novel re-examining the themes of Mrs Dalloway. I enjoyed the film which I saw a few years ago, but the book has greater depth I think.

... nt The Master and Margarita The Secret History Beloved Song of Solomon A couple weeks ago, I started reading Mrs. Dalloway and found it confusing with the abrupt character changes and put it down after about 1/4 way through. Saturday afternoon, the kids were gone, I locked up the ...

Books by women 1- Emma 2- The robber bride 3- The house of mirth 4- Mrs Dalloway - started Oct 28 2009 - finished Nov 24 2009 5- Their eyes were watching God

I am enjoying Mrs. Dalloway. I read my first Virginia Woolf book earlier this year (To the Lighthouse) and I cannot believe that I was missing out on her for so long.

... 1. Birth: Frankenstein 2. Childhood: Wuthering Heights 3. Growth: Jane Eyre 4. Marriage: Middlemarch 5. Love: Mrs. Dalloway 6. Parenthood: To the Lighthouse 7. the Future: Between the Acts The strongest section was chapter two on childhood, and would be worth reading for ...

... theory is that Peter Walsh loves Clarissa for herself and only herself. That was my interpretation when I first read Mrs Dalloway, in high school. Then I re-read it four years later and thought almost the opposite--that Peter loves her for (and only for) the idealized and false version ...

... want to steer anyone away from this book, just because I thought it was so-so. Maybe you'll love it. Bonnie, as for Mrs Dalloway and love, the theory is that Peter Walsh loves Clarissa for herself and only herself. It was an interesting take on the book.

Love the idea for this book and I get the book selections for the first four categories, but Mrs. Dalloway to represent love? I don't think so! I haven't read the last two books, so maybe I'll add them to my list of books to check out at the library.

I love Mrs. Dalloway and just within the past few months have re-added it to my library, with the intention of having the pleasure to reread it. I thought that The Hours was an admirable adaptation/update of the book. And I thought that the movie did credit to both. You couldn't ask for ...

I read Mrs. Dalloway in two days. I love it. Now I am working on Jane Eyre. Both examples of the books I hated in high school. I wonder why it is different now? Maybe life expirences?

I am reading Mrs. Dalloway for the first time in my life. I am enthralled so far.

I agree: start with Mrs. Dalloway.

I love both Orlando and Mrs Dalloway and would recommend both. Orlando has a more straightforward, conventional narrative style, but I think Mrs Dalloway is more engaging. I'd probably start with Mrs D.

... or mature enough? What would people recommend as the one to start with? I've always wanted to read Orlando but Mrs. Dalloway seems like it could be an easier trek.

Oh, I love Mrs. Dalloway. It's worth following up with The Hours by Michael Cunningham, which is an homage of sorts to the Woolf novel and its structure, set in modern times. Virginia is one of the characters in the interwoven stories; another is a housewife who discovers Woolf's novels; ...

Have you also read To The Lighthouse? I read somewhere that while Mrs Dalloway is more well-written, To The Lighthouse could be considered the "better" novel because of its wider scope. I've read (and love) both, and I think I have a slight preference for To The Lighthouse, although that ...

Clam, The Woman is White is awesome. I agree with wht you're saying. The Hours made me go back and reread Mrs. Dalloway.

My favourite of the M books is Mrs. Dalloway. It's sort of difficult to explain why without going into an essay-length post.

... Kate Chopin, but even so, the book has such vitality and life that it should be read by everyone. And, of course, Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. This book, for me, is so aesthetically pleasing (the language is phenominal) that I would even suggest reading it out loud. There is so ...

... Karenina and got no more than 150 pages in before I turned to other books for my entertainment. I made it halfway through Mrs Dalloway before I put it down and gave up. Quite frankly, I really don't enjoy reading Virginia Woolf so there are a few on the list which I dread slightly. Orlando ...

I usually don't do re-reads. But right now I've just begun re-reading Mrs. Dalloway, The Bell Jar and one of my favorites: Girl With A Pearl Earring. I love read books over and over cause you always see something that you didn't see before. I mostly have to re-read anything by Virgina Woolf ...

So far, I think my favorite is either Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf or the latest Harry Potter. Strange juxtaposition there. I also really liked Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I haven't read any terrific books this month aside from those.

Here's another layer. I've read Mrs. Dalloway now and was surprised to find myself more captivated by the story of Lucrezia Warren Smith and her husband Septimus than by the main thread. I haven't figured out yet what the link is between the two stories of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Dalloway -- maybe ...

I'm putting The Impressionist down for the week to read my book club books. We are reading Mrs. Dalloway and The Hours. I've read both of them before so it will be a pretty quick read.

... was able to pull off...Karlus, I loved reading your comparison of these three novels, but I feel like you're short-changing Mrs. Dalloway a bit. It does have the sweetness of love and success that you talk about, but isn't there also an immense sadness? Clarissa's regretful/nostalgic memories ...

... I've read A Room of One's Own and Orlando, but none of the three you reviewed, though I have been meaning to read Mrs. Dalloway, especially since the film of The Hours came out. Alas, the big problem with this group is the way my list of books to read keeps expanding! I must carve out ...

Karlus, Thank you for such a great comparison study. I have read Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, still have The Waves in my stack...quite near the top. Maybe I ought to bring A Room of One's Own near the top as well. :) I fully agree that "feminist author" does not give Woolf ...

#4 Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (January): I read this as a companion to The Hours, as the latter is a shout-out to the former. It is a slow read, a psychological novel that is purely character-driven and dense, but it was interesting to read right after The Hours, as there is much overlap ...

#3 The Hours by Michael Cunningham (January): Our book/movie club did this one (with Mrs. Dalloway, below). I had read it before, but this is one that people often finish and immediately want to read over. I enjoyed it the second time, even more than the first, since I knew where it was ...

How about Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, followed by The Hours by Michael Cunningham? Also, In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden by Kathleen Cambor is a novel about the Johnstown flood, and would be complemented nicely by The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough.

Gobbled up Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf a few days ago, and am still scrutinizing the Introduction (don't worry, instructions were to read the book and THEN progress through to the intro; it containing spoilers and a detailed dissection of diary entires, quotes, blurbs, yumm yummm!) Am now ...

... available for some time. Come to think of it, I haven't seen the movie yet either. But, thanks for the clue-in about Mrs. Dalloway - I'll try and tackle that first before The Hours.

I loved The Hours, and the film captures it really well I think - but then I knew Mrs Dalloway, and perhaps that helps, as others have said.

I'm glad I had read Mrs Dalloway beforehand because I enjoyed the allusions to it. As a book in itself I remember savouring the style of The Hours and loving it.

I loved The Hours. I read it for a book club a few years ago. When I finished it, I immediately read Mrs. Dalloway, and then read The Hours again. It was greatly enriched by both the reading of Mrs. Dalloway and the rereading of itself.

Have you read Mrs. Dalloway? I think that doing so would add much to your understanding and appreciation of The Hours. I liked Cunningham's book, but I'm not sure I would have liked it as much if I had not been familiar with Woolf's.

... the lists may be VERY long..... Mine would begin with Sherlock Holmes and Watson, Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy, Mrs. Dalloway, Thursday Next, James Bond, Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler and...I am going to stop here and wait for other comments!

... Finally I am enjoying the book. Only took the first five hours. Required reading for a lit class. Also have to find Mrs. Dalloway. Tried to read it and am having a really hard time knowing who is speaking so I am hoping having the book narriated will make it easier. My next personal ...

Currently trying to get my school reading out of the way over Holiday. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and David Copperfield by Charles DIckens. Having a really hard time getting into either book. Would much rather be reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.

... Palahniuk; I really enjoyed the short stories but wasn't crazy about the overall story linking them. Now I'm tackling Mrs. Dalloway for my book group--definitely switching gears!

My book club read Mrs. Dalloway and then watched The Hours a while back. It actually worked out really well. A couple of members had to leave right after the book discussion, but the majority of us stayed around to watch the film. It was beneficial for discussion to have seen the film together. ...
