How do you rate this book Veeky Forums? How do you think it stacks up to Ulysses (which i see it compared to)?
I thought it was interesting. Bernard got to be a whiny bitch but Woolf nailed the pains of nostalgia and getting old, as well as ones inner thoughts. Very poetic. Wasnt much a fan of the waves metaphor but understood its usage.
Also: Was Percival adolescence? When he died it all went to shit for everyone and they still yearn for the time he was round.
It's a masterpiece.

What's the point of comparing tobehonest
I just see people compare them as two modernist (or maybe pomo?) stream of conscious classics. Admittedly Joyces was on a grand scale but perhaps Waves had, overall, a little more heart.

I read it when I was 12. Didn't finish it, and to this day I regret it. Should I give it another go?
Yes.
