@gutenberg_org i have many many #ePubs on my tablet from your wondrous site. several of these are Woolfs. i really really struggle to read her. just a few days ago i had my latest failure; only 35 pages into The Waves, i chose to end my misery & abandon it. i hate giving up on books, but Woolf for me is impenetrable, alas. 🤯

"who's afraid of virginia woolf?" -- sadly, me, it seems. 🥺

Yeah I can enjoy her poetry, but I'd rather read an essay about how one of her novels is ground breaking and original, than the novel.
