I like DH Lawrence.
Me too, particularly Women in Love and Sons and Lovers. Lawrence's poetry is worth reading, too.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I just read an odd book..."The End of the Empire" by Alexis Gilliland.
It was...weird. SF, sort of in the vein of the "classic" SF authors, Asimov and Bradbury and whatnot...but not quite as good. It felt more like the author had some sort of neat SF-ish ideas and hastily constructed a bullshit justification to throw them in. And the protagonist was...like, Fletch as an interplanetary gestapo officer with a heart of gold.
Just...odd.

I remember really hoping there was going to something nasty raunchy in Fanny Hill. With such a promising title ... I don't remember if I stuck it out. I was certainly disappointed.
I have never read Fanny Hill, but I read Erica Jong's re-telling of it at about 11 THAT seemed raunchy but mostly because of 1) the gay sex and 2) the chapter that listedlike, 100 nicknames for the penis.
I don't remember learning to read. I know my mother read to me nightly, and not from pictures books, but from nancy Drew and Little Women and such. I read anything I could get my hands on, which in my house was old nursing textbooks romance novels and classics. At the libraries, I read mysteries and fantasy. I do remember reading Our Town and making my mother (I was an only child) split the parts with me and act it out, with me directing. My poor mother. I used to also try to re-write Agatha Christie novels as plays.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I read Erica Jong's too. I can't remember if I liked it or not.

I think there were gay pirates! Of course I think I read this at the same time as he marathon clan of the Cave Bear readinfs so this may be taken withagrain of salt (or Jondalar's giant womanmaker)
