Time for this again! No really, this is like the biggest failure of the year, I haven't lsted anything in months. So, it just remains here, but I won't be updating the list anymore, boo.

Oh god, I wish I could read it in French too! I actually have this edition which has a running parallel French text; but, I can't really understand anything of it. I feel a bit like the English translation is killing the poems; their rhymes are mostly lost and even though I can't understand too much in French, I'd much prefer reading them in their original language. That's why I really chose to read Mrs. Dalloway in English, I once had the Finnish translation but didn't really get started, so I feel like I should honour Woolf in reading her books in the language she originally wrote them.

Thanks for the recommendations! I haven't seen any of those films, and I haven't read that book (the local library seems to have the Finnish translation of it; not the original English one, but maybe I can live with this - scratch that, they have the one in English as well!), so I'll try and get my hands on them. :)
