this book is dope. modernist writing like this allows for lots of speculation into the human condition and woolf has very interesting speculations regarding the psychic and psychological atmospheres that seem to cloud all of us while we stumble blindly towards each other in the dark. her characters give you a good sneak preview of what life has in store for various archetypes of people, some of whom you may find yourself identifying with. come for clarissa's party and stay for septimus--remember that human nature is on us all.
