Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf... a classic or so I've been told. The dude who wrote The Hours raved about it on the back cover... all this about being the first novel to split the atom and such. I was bored out of my mind. I had to force myself to finish. So maybe I just feel about this novel (I haven't read anything else by Virginia Woolf so I can't say it about her in general) as I feel about Andy Warhol. I can appreciate that she did something new - just like I can appreciate that Andy Warhol was a pioneer - but that doesn't make me enjoy the experience.
There was one line I liked though, "A lady is known by her shoes and her gloves." I rarely wear either so I'm not sure what that says about me, but it was the only line I actually remember from the novel.
I did have some pretty interesting tea with the book - Pumpkin Spice Chai from The Tea Spot (my favorite tea source). It isn't one of my favorites, but the sample was a nice, tasty surprise!
