yah
while I do not find The Hours to be extremely exciting i do find it to be somewaht engaging. To me, the characters are very interesting. Each one has their own individual quirks and problems that makes them seem so real. The way in which the book follows each character somewhat reminds me of a sitcom, but that's alright. The language distracts me from this negativity. Every passage is very well written. Simply, yet very descriptively Micheal Cunningham brings his crazy, sick, and troubled characteres to life. The only parts i have a problem with are the chapters regarding Virginia Woolf, they seem soemowhat out of place.

Shawn,
A thoughtful post (one which I wish you'd submitted a bit earlier, and made a bit longer). Your description of the novel seems belied by your appreciation of the level of its language (something which I am glad you are enjoying).
