A review by fbarrett1855
Orlando by Virginia Woolf

5.0

This year, my personal reading goal had little to do with the volume of books I would read, and much more so to do with the types of books; namely, I wanted to revisit the classics, especially those I hadn't read before. I had read other Woolf works (A Room of One's Own, Mrs. Dalloway, et.), but somehow Orlando had always been shelved away. About three months ago, it finally made its way to the top of my "to-be-read" pile. Thank God it did!

Had I known that this book would have me quite literally burst out laughing on the bus to work in the morning, or that I would be taking copious notes in my journal about the characters, their journeys, and the events covered by the novel, I would have made time for it a lot sooner. Highly recommend it to everybody!
