Since Answering Questions Asked Through Google pretty much died, I thought I’d give Tuesday a new regular feature. And lo, behold I stumbled upon Teaser Tuesday here and I really liked the idea.

Here’s what it’s about:

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Basically, open the book you’re currently reading and share a couple of sentences from that page on your blog.   Avoid spoilers of course.

So, each week you’ll be getting two sentences from one of the books I’m reading at that time.

Here we go:

Orlando is in fact the first Woolf novel in which a meditation on the configurations of the family as it is structured around the stereotypical heterosexual couple does not in some sonse dominate the plot. Instead, this parodic but ultimately serious ‘biography’ takes as its starting point a character who maybe said to have evolved as much from Lily Briscoe, the determinedly single woman artist of To the Lighthouse, as from Vita Sackville-West.

From the introduction to Virginia Woolf’s Orlando by Sandra M. Gilbert

[Btw, L., I haven’t gotten very far yet with Orlando, as you can see, but I’m working on it.]
