My next selection...

Is D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers. Originally published in 1913, this novel is considered Lawrence's earliest masterpiece. This novel tells the tale of Paul Morel, and his struggles to escape the ties of his mother. While I'm only partway into this book, I am already enjoying it. The short amount of research I've done indicates that this may be a partially autobiographical tale and makes me want to know more of D.H. Lawrence and his life. I am specifically curious about his connection to his own mother, simply because of the complex relationships he is already creating between the matriarch of this family and the sons especially.

I'm assuming that this title will take some time to pour through, it is lengthy and is certainly not something that can be glossed through and appreciated. As such I am thinking that with the close of each chapter I may try to post some of my thoughts... I guess we'll see where that takes me.....
