sons and lovers

by d.h. laurence (i hope i spelled that right ... not in the most sober state of mind right now)

anyway, it took me like a month and a half, but i finished my next book. this time, it was one on my list (my list being the same list as the 100 top modern novels). it was an interesting tale. one of a boy's life being both a son and a lover. i must confess, that the oedipal nature of the protaganist was a little icky.

i guess i just don't understand one having a relationship quite that close with one's parents ... a relationship which makes you want to eschew all other romantic endeavours. it's rather ... well, wrong, don't you think?

overall, the book wasn't bad. it was quite the look into one man's world and the women who surrounded him. a real exploration of what it means and takes to love another and the different types of love that exist. and most importantly, the hate that sometimes comes along with the love.

so in conclusion, the deep thought of the day (i'm unsure if i should share this ... it will really show you all what a geek i am):

you should always pay your taxes with a smile. i tried, but they said they wanted cash instead.
