 "That Wharton book" is essentially all of them (with the exception of Ethan Frome).   I love Edith Wharton (lots of W authors, actually, but that's just coincidence).  Even my neanderthal husband liked The House of Mirth (that he even read it is astonishing to me, acutally); my guess is that's the one you're referrring to.
 
 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? |
