I don't understand Virginia Woolf

I am reading To The Lighthouse for my outside reading book and I literally don’t understand 90% of what Virginia Woolf writes. She is very well known and supposedly amazing, but I honestly hate the way she writes. Hate is a strong word but in this case it is true. The first 124 pages are only 7 hours in the story and it drags on and on. If the characters were doing something interesting in those 7 hours maybe it would be okay, but nothing interesting happens. Also it is written as though you are reading the characters thoughts so it can be very random and (I don’t know what other word to say) annoying. Also, the way she writes, sometimes a whole paragraph is one sentence. I read something online that says one of the sentences is 101 words long…101 WORDS…that’s just not right. I can’t understand what she is talking about because of this, it all just runs together and makes no sense because it isn’t written normally. Because I hate the book so much it take so much effort to make myself sit down and read it, and the whole time I am reading it I’m thinking “oh my gosh how am I ever going to write an essay about this?” but seriously, how am I supposed to write an essay on a book that I have no clue what is happening while I’m reading. Oh well... Good luck to me.
