To the Lighthouse

I have finished my second book off my big long list, “To the Lighthouse” by Virginia Woolf. And, once again, it is very much the same as the first. In my opinion: “The book in a whole is actually a rather good read. That is after you get past the first two or so chapters.” In the lighthouses case, its good once you get to the Part III (otherwise known as the last part) of the book.

The book is about a painting, a lighthouse, a family, a holiday home, and the guests the family invite to their holiday home. But really it’s not about those in any particular order, they just intertwine (oddly) to make the book: sad, happy, exciting.

Fairly nervous is the emotion I am feeling about contemplating buying another book off my list and read it. It only took me over four months to get through this tiny one hundred and sixty paged book. However, it was a very good sleep-aid. I knew if I read it for at least five minutes I'd be asleep five minutes later.

Really, I have to stop bagging on this book. The story is a very good story. It is just written in a time of patience and extremely great literature.
