    My thoughts while watching this:
    -didn't expect half of this video to be a Hemingway roast-compilation (but I'm all here for it)
    -that tiny mic never ceases to catch me off guard
    -despite being spoilerless, vague and short, this video is surprisingly insightful
    -as an avid James Joyce reader, I can really relate to the "I love soup"-comment lol

    I just finished To the Lighthouse today, Virginia Woolf is probably my favorite author!! You should probably try Clarice Lispector too, they have similar vibes and writing, in my opinion. I need to reread Mrs Dalloway cause I think I would love it if I read it now (I think I read it 3 years ago), instead of just liking it, tho it did make me want to pick up everything she ever wrote lol

    Articulated and comprehensive. I’m impressed that you did this in only two takes. Finished the book today and came to RUclips to hear other people’s thoughts. Would love to see what your notes are on the book. I resonate with what you said that the book can be read as some sort of poetry.

    Just finished the book. This was my second Woolf after A Room of One’s Own, and I thought it was much more challenging than that short book/extended essay, but ultimately quite rewarding. Can’t wait to read more of her stuff. Great video!

    Thank you for your post, I returned to Virginia Woolf a couple of years ago after not reading her since high school, it was the right time, and an overwhelming experience In the best of ways, I started with Orlando, To the lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway came next, And still going down this wonderful stream of consciousness, rabbit hole, love the review,✌️

    came from tiktok and glad i did! amazing first video and you've convinced me to pick up this book as soon as possible; Your loud and clear but soft-spoken voice made this review seem all the more professional and kept me wanting to watch more. I loved the personal notes segments you've put into your script as it makes the review feel more like a passionate blog post, rather than a mundane high-school presentation. I'd love to see more reviews like this no matter the genre, topic, length, or time it takes to make a similar video to this since you seem so passionate to share to whoever is willing to listen; your personal thoughts and opinions and i love that! please keep it up!

    You are so wonderful! ❤️ I just finished Mrs Dalloway (my first Virginia Woolf book) and I wanted to process it, and “make sure i understood it”. Your video was perfect for that: I was reassured it wasn’t a test and that I can simply enjoy having read it. Your style of video-making is hard to find these days, and I think you have done an incredible job! ☺️💕 Also, you are absolutely stunning (love the outfit and the makeup!). On top of that you are soooo well spoken. Thank you for making this! Safe to say you have earned yourself a new subscriber 😊❤️

    hi !! ^^i just started reading the book in prep for an essay one of my professors wants us to do about it and im so thankful i found your video and found your insight and review to be incredibly nuanced and helpful!

    Thank you! My professor had us start and finish this book in the same week so I couldn’t take my time reading which led me to be completely lost by the end of the novel. Watching this before the quiz today has definitely helped

    I listened to this novel as an audiobook and am now doing the same with analysis since I definitely lost what was happening a lot of the time. I had very little knowledge of Virginia Woolf too so it’s somewhat reassuring to find out this was probably intentional :,) thank you for the video and I’d love to hear your opinions on more classics as I’m slowly getting back into reading again (or audiobooks sometimes lol)

    What human being in True Love plastic finds?
    All bellies are the canvas for a soulmate’s breath.
    And soulmate arms we’re meant to fit inside
    are not comprised of anything but flesh.
    The ocean prays for goosebumps on thy leg,
    and paces, praying that you weren’t transformed.
    What were the waves approved to fondly take?
    but take the ancient patterns of thy pores.
    A princess had similar pimples once,
    but only had her nails to touch a flaw;
    the nails that let no lily sink but bob,
    and keep a buoyant beauty just like ours.
    Where was thy soulmate’s head designed to rest?
    sweet answer, cradled in no plastic chest.

    I like short sentences. For action, great. Sometimes one needs to forego cereal and milk downed before the whistle makes its morning cry, a whiny siren or maybe with the same impact of a full roaring stem engine barreling down the tracks with horns blaring, and allow oneself the rewarding if at times daunting, dare I say, arduous (but only sometimes), taskings required to proceed with the positive reinforcement of gathering some continuities of meaning from less traditional, or at least, less simplistic, (like utterly simplistic) if at times erudite, truant sentences.
