I am not sure if I spelled her last name correctly..but you get the idea.. 
I was wondering if anyone could reccomend one of her books for me? I have never read her and I would like to start with a good one.
Thanks!

i havent read any of them either but isnt one called 'mrs dalloway' or something - i know the spelling is wrong but thats the book that the hours involved. cant say i have been inspired to read any of her books myself i didnt really like the hours that much. i think i will read 'who's afraid of viginia wolfe' though cause i read this awsome monologue from it and it sounds pretty interesting...

well, they are not easy books, u really need to concentrate and enjoy reading the book if u wanna understand the meaning of what's it sayin...if u know what i mean 
i've started both, but i never got to finish them, havin exams, maybe its about time to restart them...
i've seen the film "mrs dalloway" and now i want to see the hours, which is not exactly written by virginia woolf's novel but based on it...

I dont think I will have any trouble understanding them...
I saw the Hours as well, and I must say it intrigued me. Thank you for the rec. I will check them out.

I've never read any of her books, I've read the hours though, and its about her, does that count!  I've never seen the movie though, I want to though, I like to compare books to movies

The Hours was a lot like the book, But I have to say , the book bored me to tears and the movie was so depressing.
