Postoje knjige koje pomeraju kriterijume, one koje ne želite da završite i koje koristite kao test za ljude iz okoline, a Gospođa Dalovej je za mene baš takva knjiga. Zbog obaveza sam je prilično dugo čitala, ali mi je upravo to sporo čitanje na neki način povećalo uživanje u njoj, a prva misao nako...

Mrs. Dalloway is a work like [b:Ulysses|338798|Ulysses|James Joyce|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1346161221s/338798.jpg|2368224]. Perhaps it may seem like prestigious name dropping to mention the two together, yet the comparison is the only one I can make. I should add, however that it ...

Mrs. Dalloway is a classic of English literature that I decided to read to provide background knowledge for my anticipated reading of the novel The Hours by Michael Cunningham which I understand contains parallels to this book. I read Woolf’s A Room of Our Own earlier this year for a book discussion...

This book is the story of a single day in Clarissa Dalloway's life as she prepares for a party. Famous for its stream of consciousness narrative, I found my stream of consciousness straying away from what Clarissa was planning to do for the party, to what I was planning for dinner that night. This...

I don't understand this book yet. But this is because I don't understand life yet. There is so much Clarissa Dalloway in these 190-some pages, and so much of many of us in Clarissa Dalloway. I expect to learn from her in rereadings throughout the years.From the day's first task of buying flowers,...

You can tell Mrs. Dalloway was a saucy minx in her day. *cat sound!* Christ, it's decades later and dudes are still reduced to blubbering great girls before her! Well okay, it's only one dude. I don't want to mislead. Clarissa Dalloway had a suitor, but chose another and now she wonders if she made ...

Well written book. Very much of its time. I'm not a great fan of these early stream of consciousness books. They seem to me to be reacting to supposed problems with the 19th century novel, which I don't believe are there. Her influence is important, but early stream of consciousness novels like ...

Clarissa Dalloway atarefa-se com a preparação da sua própria festa, evento crucial para ela,...

Well, I tried. I am completely unfamiliar with the story and had no idea what to expect going in. I picked this up this afternoon, and 30 tedious pages later, I have to say I don't really know what was going on during that time. I get that Mrs Dalloway seems to have some sort of past with a man name...
