How could a decaying house make me so sad? At the same time I found myself annoyed at the improbability that they could have revived the house which had crumbing plaster and weeds growing through the tiles just by cleaning it and cutting the grass. For all the attention given to the melancholy decay surely the attention to detail it’s was due it.

Really? Did she just die? And in a parenthesis? The shock was breathtaking. I kept reading it over not believing that she who was so central to the story was just gone… in the dark. Completely changes the book which was just kind of floating along and now feels all disrupted. Wow! So like life. How does a person write like this?

Okay I get it. The ethereal quality of the dinner party was deep but my goodness it reads so slowly. And I wonder how much I’ll remember. Still I want to check it off the list and I think I’ll like it better when we go to the lighthouse.

Stuck at a dinner party with everyone’s inner thoughts. Slow going.

Downton Abbey meets all the inner thoughts of the chapters that you never hear out loud. It’s like looking into the brains of several people all at once. I am certain I would not want to know what people are thinking - what a clatter.

ADD musings of Virginia Wolfe. But what a perfect capture of the ADD ramblings of our minds. Who could capture that with such perceptive observation? The children are late, the first star of the evening, is it moles or rabbits, my husband never notices anything, I think they will get married….

At once banal - a mother reading a book to her child and wondering where her children are so close to dark. On the other hand mystifyingly deep as the artist contemplates what makes the mother so special and her love for her. Profoundly beautiful - a painting with words.

“Not knowing precisely why it was that he wanted to disparage Shakespeare and come to the rescue of the man who stands eternally in the door of the lift.” ~ the plight of the democrat.

The problem with a book without a plot, no matter how exquisitely written, is that it fails to hold the attention for long - too difficult.
