I still plan to read The Years this month -- not sure about others. I need a week or so before I can begin it, though, but don't let me hinder anyone. No reason we can't take it at our own pace.

One should probably comment on the other thread to remind people.

Yolande  (sirus) I'm still in and will start soon.


Lisa | 88 comments I've just started The Years, and I'm reminded of just how well Woolf writes. Every minute detail that she captures adds to the atmosphere, even if we are doing little more than contemplate the rain. It's been almost a decade since I read To the Lighthouse, but Woolf's approach here (circling around people, focusing on a sense of place and bypassing major events in favour of the mundane) reminds me very much of the central passage - was it Time Passes? Anyhow, an engaging read so far!

Starting this now, finally. Been ages since I last read this, though I read Woolf yearly!

Anyone else beginning it?
