I think Virginia Woolf is brilliant. Last year, I read a collection of her essays in a compilation titled Genius & Ink, in which Woolf discusses her favorite authors, books and why we read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved her writing style. Highly recommend if you like books about books and reading!
However, I have never read one of her novels; I find Woolf intimidating. I’ll be conquering that fear this year, starting with Mrs. Dalloway. I found that reading some of her essays first made me more eager to pick up her fiction; I was able to familiarize myself with her voice as a writer, making her seem more approachable.
Do you have a novel or an author that you are nervous to dive into?
