Orlando quotes

[n3cr0phelia]

I finally finished Virginia Woolf's Orlando, long after having received it as a birthday gift from losemeontheway maybe two years ago.
(Thanks again, Emily, you were right about everything.
It is now on my top favorite books ever list.)

It's been a while since I transcribed quotes to lj...
because I've been doing it on tumblr instead, actually

I know you already know, but I added you, thank you.

What is your name there?
Mine is Dasha Eyeless. I say so because perhaps you added my old account that have been deleted and then restored by Big Brother Facebook asssucking cockgagging team.
=)
Would LOVE to see you as my friend there, because I try to write only in english on Facebook.
And-surprise surprise-I posted the quotes you posted here to my Facebook info, because they are wonderful, and I couldn`t find that book in English.

Sorry this is so late... but I'm so glad you liked it! It is also on my top favorite books ever list. I saw all the quotations you posted on your tumblr, so I figured you did. But I always feel a little awkward giving people books as gifts and worry that they will hate them and think I have terrible taste in literature. So... yeah. I thought you would appreciate Woolf's sense of humor in Orlando, though, among other things. The "and so on for six pages" pat always makes me lol. And her meeting with Shelmerdine, of course.

Have you read To The Lighthouse? It's very different from Orlando, but I think you might like it as well (or not, I don't know). It's also up there on my favorites list, although I think I may possibly like Orlando a tiny bit better on account of its being one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. Woold's prose in Lighthouse is just breathtakingly beautiful, though, so maybe it's a tossup.

We should talk sometime; I miss you! I hope everything is going great for you!

I'm later.

I miss you too.
