26: a book you had to read in school and ended up loving

ooh THANK you for asking this because it gives me an excuse to ramble about mrs. dalloway 

i was assigned it in high school and now it’s probably hands down my favorite book. there’s just more to discover every time you go back to it, the prose and themes are just gorgeous, AND the main character is an (arguably) bi woman, which i was astonished and very glad of when i read it in my (girls’ catholic) high school. literally obsessed with that book and mrs. dalloway’s relationships with her husband and sally
