Mrs. Dalloway was incredible; you know how in recent years it's become somewhat fashionable to make movies with 4-5 main characters, with the narrative switching between them all and showing the interconnections in their lives? That's what Virgina Woolf was doing in 1925. Fucking brilliant. Norwegian Wood I wasn't planning on buying but I was looking for a new book, just browsing aimlessly through the fiction section when I saw it; figured I'd check it out. I wonder how many books have been written with Beatles songs as titles? So far I've got two, this one and Eleanor Rigby; wouldn't it be cool if you could, like, reconstruct the albums with books on your bookshelf?
