[Vwoolf] did Woolf read the Gita?

[Anne Fernald]

The first place I always go for questions like this is to the Washington
State University catalog of Leonard and Virginia Woolf's library
<http://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu/masc/onlinebooks/woolflibrary/woolflibraryonline.htm>.
That's a reliable, but not entirely complete, clue.

No Bhagavad Gita there. The books on India are agricultural and political,
so, as intriguing a suggestion as this is, I don't immediately see strong
evidence for the speculation.

Others may have found clues elsewhere, however.
