Have fun with your reading! I am reading Sons and Lovers from the list. I read it in university a while back, but I am starting the 1001 from scratch and plan to concentrate solely on that list (and magazine subscriptions) for the time being.

Thank you for strengthening my resolve never to try him again. I think it was Sons and Lovers I finally had to stop reading--back when I was OCD about finishing everything! I'm better now--except if I own a book that I put aside I won't get rid of it in case I ever decide to finish it. Since I ...

... didn't get it 'right' (incidentally, where IS the 'Great Working Class Novel'?), although I think he was trying for it in Sons and Lovers , particularly the passages about the father. I think DHL's poetry is extraordinary and love it, his language in the novels is beautiful but I can't get over ...
DLSmithies #63: If Sons and Lovers can't make you abrogate your self-imposed requirement to finish the books you start, nothing ever written can...I feel so sad for that, so many, many unworthy books will make their way into your mental furniture... ;-P
I made it through Part I of Sons and Lovers , but decided to dump it after that. I think I would've been all over the book if it had been a short story, as it's written in an interesting manner, but as a book it was just too much. I didn't really care enough to work my way through another 250 ...
I'm oh-so-slowly wending my way through Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence. If things don't pick up soon, I think I'll be abandoning it. It's interestingly written, but that isn't enough to carry me through the rest of it. If this were a short story I'd have eaten it up, but as a novel... ...
... And I'm looking forward to Cakes and Ale later in the year too.
I hate to be the odd-man-out here, but I love Sons and Lovers best of all the Lawrence novels that I've read, but of course understand well that it's probably not to everyone's taste. Just saying...
#49 and #56: I felt exactly the same about Sons and Lovers - I found it so tedious, and the characters all so intensely annoying - especially the girls whose name I've forgotten - Marion or something? Self-indulgence abounded. I stuck it out till the end only because I can't stand leaving a book ...
>49 xicanti: Have you read other D.H. Lawrence works? If so, you're not likely to get into Sons and Lovers , which I personally remember as one of the godawfullest reads of my life. I say abandon ship, person the lifeboats and row heartily away from that gormless, drippy Paul Morel and his ...
I feel like it's taking me forever to get through Sons and Lovers . I hope my reading speed picks up a bit tomorrow, once I'm back on the bus. I find it difficult to read over the weekend unless I'm really involved in the book; there are just so many other things I could be doing! It's much ...
I've just started Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence for fiction, (finally ; I've been meaning to get to it for about six months now), and I'm about halfway through The Vision of the Buddha by Tom Lowenstein for nonfiction.
... up short, tentative reading lists to cover particular periods, but I'm not very good at sticking to them. For example, Sons and Lovers has been up next for, um, a couple of months now. I swear I'll read it after I finish my current book, though. Really.

Shopaholic Takes Manhattan by Sophie Kinsella. I sort of feel like I should be reading something deeper, (perhaps Sons and Lovers which I've been meaning to get to for a few months now), but oh well. There's nothing wrong with reading solely for entertainment.

Oh, Dorian Gray and Sons and Lovers , they were required reading during the summer before I started English at college, there were a few others, but honestly... I can't remember.
