Ilana Simons is our guest blogger during the week of November 26th. If you have any questions for Ilana Simons, add a comment to any of her posts. Here is some brief information about A Life of One's Own: A Guide to Better Living Through the Work and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf: 

One of the most admired writers of the twentieth century, Virginia Woolf is as popular now as she ever was. In this remarkable book, award-winning professor Ilana R. Simons plumbs the depths of Woolf’s words and career, drawing on them to produce a lively and accessible guide to more fulfilling, more original living inspired by one of literature’s greatest observers of human nature. The result, beautifully packaged, is almost worthy of Woolf herself.
