Burning Virginia Woolf

Sorry you Woolfie lovers out there...
I just can't stand the woman and her books.
----------------------------------------
I remember it like it was yesterday

The moon was whispering to the waves
And the stars listened in awe

The lighthouse sent its
Luminous message across the sea

We sat on the sand
Solemn and silent
And we started a fire
That grew bigger and bigger
As one by one
We fed it
The pages
Of that blasted book.

I think Virginia herself would be impressed by this... or at least intrigued.

[janeczka]

@thatisanicecoat Why, thank you. Intrigued would suit me fine ;)

we will long be forgotten...folks will still be benefiting from her great mind.She surely had her shortcomings.....but she gave soo much....keep reading girl !!

[janeczka]

@onygen Oh, yes...

Books are one of the greatest riches we can have.

Ehm.. I love Virginia Woolf, but I can understand the reason why lots of you don't. Anyway I can tell you that "A room of her own" is one of the wittest eassays on women writers I've ever red. It's veeeery different from her novels. Bye!

Burning the book kept you warm, but I don't think it was the flame that gave the heat. Hmm. I'm going to have to try that with a bible. We may be kindled spirits. ;)

Nice seeing you here again! mwahaha :p

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Heh heh.... I liked seeing this again! :P

[janeczka]

It was there. So was the book. The rest is history. I still don't see how burning ONE book will turn me into a little Hitler...

the comment section is for something. a bonfire is to keep you warm, not to burn books...
