“It is the object of life to produce good people and good books��, the society of young women say, as they sit around drinking tea. It is the conclusion they come to after realizing that maybe they should bare children anymore until they can figure out if the men are producing something meaningful. An amazing story, Virginia Woolf’s storytelling abilities surpass those of normal classical authors in the way in which she portrays the immediate thought of each character as it comes to her mind. Almost as if there were many different thoughts in a jumble of different conversations, but they come together to form a unique style of writing and a cohesive theme throughout. I’ve never read Woolf before and a story about the importance of reading (as well as other things �� such as perhaps a commentary on the evolution of woman’s role vs. men in society?) was a great first read for me. It took me a bit to understand her methods and I went back several times going over the words, only because they were so quotable! This whole story could be seen as excellent literary quotes. I can see why she’s deemed a classical author and I’d have to agree. I very much enjoyed this and highly recommend it. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite parting quotes:

“What shall I teach my daughter?��

“Once she learns how to read, there’s only one thing you can teach her to believe in, that is herself.��
