Lady Chatterley's Lover (Bantam Classics)
D.H. Lawrence
Bantam Books, 1983
I've read three books by Lawrence...this was the only one I liked
+ Love in the Void
+ Incandescent. Perfect.
I picked up Lady Chatterley's Lover (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Amazon for $6.95. In the absence of an available Everyman's Cloth Edition, the B&N is likely the way to go. In terms of supplemental material it is quite comparable to this: (Lady Chatterley's ...

A Writer's Diary Volume 2: 1877-1881 (Writer's Diary, 1877-1881)
Fyodor Dostoevsky

deeply flawed yet deeply fascinating
+ Dostoevsky's Brilliance in "Raw" Form

This book and its companion volume present the contents of a journal written, edited, and published by Dostoevsky over a period of eight years. It is a fascinating collection. There are stories; there are literary discussions; there are commentaries on current events, especially court cases and ...

Francis Bacon: and the Loss of Self (Reaktion Books - Essays in Art and Culture)
Ernst van Alphen
Reaktion Books, 2004
According to most of the critical commentary on Francis Bacon, the paintings by this crucially important artist are about violence, torment, fragmentation and loss. However, Ernst van Alphen argues that it is the violence done to the viewer that needs to be addressed if we are to understand how these works function. In this provocative and highly original interpretation of Bacon's art, the ...

Two Friends (Classic Short Stories)
Guy de Maupassant
Creative Education, 1985
A whimsical story about the terrible consequences of whim.
'Two Friends' is one of the most sympathetic yet cruel stories Guy de Maupassant ever wrote. It is sympathetic in the portrait of the two heroes, a pair of idle bourgeoises who spend their Sundays fishing in Colombes, away, as one character says, from the boulevard, in perfect sympathy with each ...

The Scarlet Letter (Signet Classics)
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Signet Classics, 1959
Boring and without substance
The Scarlet Letter, considered a classic by many, is a long and tedious book to read. Long, drawn out, and confusing sentence structures and organization and a rather lackluster plot line, renders this book an absolute waste of time.
The story itself is a dull and boring book to read. From the ...
