Really want to give Virginia Woolf some love...

I'm honestly sad that I don't like Mrs. Dalloway. I always wanted to like Virginia Woolf, but nothing she's written has ever appealed to me. It's also disappointing because she's one of the few female authors on my list. And I am vaguely annoyed that she appears twice on the list, so even when this book is through, I'm stuck with the other one. So in some ways, Virginia Woolf is setting a new precedent for the project: I will finish each book even if I dislike it immensely.

I have to admit, too, that I did not read anything off the list during the bulk of my vacation. I brought Mrs. Dalloway and The Moviegoer (thanks to Johanna for lending them), but I couldn't push myself to do it. I did, however, manage to watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special, twice; muscle through almost all of Torchwood; listen to Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon & The Fifth Horseman by James Patterson.

Oh, and I finally saw Serenity and liked it, even though I can't get into Firefly. But tomorrow it's back to work, so too, back to the project!
