Has anyone seen the movie The Hours? That's what got me to read both the book, The Hours (can't think of the author right now) and to read Mrs. Dalloway which is skillfully intertwined into The Hours. I don't think I have my copy anymore. Virginia's suicide scene---putting the rocks into her coat pockets and walking into the water is part of the movie. At that time I also went online and found a site with psychiatric evaluation of Virginia Woolf. Any thoughts on any of this?

I love The Hours--by Michael Cunningham. He's a fantastic writer who catches nuance almost as well as Woolf does, doesn't he?

I've posted ten questions with a seasonal theme in the main Community Room board. Thought you all might like to give 'em a shot...
