Virginia Woolf

I love to read literature with a pen in hand--you know, to take notes in the margins and underline striking passages. But I had to hide my pen as I began reading The Waves, because I think I might have tried to underline the entire book. No other author writes prose equal to Virginia Woolf; none of them come close. It's so fluid it's not prose, it's not poetry ... it just is. More like reading a piece of music or an Impressionist painting.
