(Another "must read Classic") On page 12, after a 14 page 'Forward' mandating to the reader the facts of how awesome the writing of Virginia Woolf was a century ago. Attempting to be worthy to grasp in my unworthy paws, this goddess's book, I've slowed to 1/2 of my usual reading speed of 238wpm. I find the writing jerky and the constant parenthesized statements seeming like I'm reading a rushed diary's entry.

I noticed this 1981 Harvest Book edition displayed an odd font, which bothers me almost as much as Woolf's jerky writing. I finally read the back cover and hence have learned that this novel covers one day in the life of Mrs. Dalloway. Great.
