Virginia Woolf is completely different. I don't think I would have appreciated Mrs. Dalloway (for example) when I was in HS or maybe even college, but I read it recently and loved it (which induced me to read To the Lighthouse, which I also loved).
Give them a CHANCE, man!

You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Miss DTB?
