Virginia Woolf

For Hours I've been sitting in science library reading a required reading piece by Virginia Woolf. It's kind of perculiar to, and in the same time I do very much enjoy in, reading literatures in Science libraries, in a sense that this place looks more humane than the so called humanity library. There's an area under the glass ceiling. Sun shined through it in the afternoon and raindrops fell during the evening hours--the punching sound formed a symphony. At another wall of the "chemical abstracts" selection there hangs a painting by Kantinski. The reading was enjoyed in a spacious reading room with a not-too-short tree (might be a real one or a fake one, but it looks like a real tree).

I'm living in an era that is almost a hundred years away from the one of Woolf's, which made some of her description of that era she lived in seems informational to me. Women used to be surpressed, and it's ongoing, despite the fact that we preaches equality in thsi "equal and free country". Women should not be the protected and inferior sex, as Woolf complained. To me,well, I do respect women. "cos we all came from a woman got a name from a woman...."(Tupac Amaru Shakur, rapper).
