D. H. Lawrence bores me to tears. It's unfair, I know. He suffered a lot for his art. He contributed greatly to modern literature. He dabbled in taboos, such as women liking sex and not necessarily marriage. He wrote about same sex relationships. But he's just so darned redundant that I always want to hurl the book across the room before I fall into another Lawrence-induced-sleep-stupor. (Someone really needed to give the man a thesaurus. Honestly, I never want to see the word "fecund" again in my lifetime.) BUT...

I listened to the Librivox audio recording done by Tony Foster, who did a thoroughly outstanding job, making it possible for me to 1) finish the book, 2) appreciate what was good about the writing, 3) fall into a restful sleep with out damaging furniture via book trajectory. If you're going to go Lawrence, go audio.

Renee M Yes! Allison developed a game based on Monopoly but with books. She has an explanation/rules thread and a game thread in a new "Game" folder. Several members are playing so It's a fun way to choose the next book.
