100 Stuff Me Like



#99

Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H.Lawrence

A controversial book due to its sexual content. Published secretly in Florence in 1928, in London in 1932 and finally in America in 1959. Lawrence's last novel. It is the story of Connie, Constance Reid, who marries Sir Clifford Chatterley in 1917. He becomes wounded in the war and is confined to a wheelchair permanently. She has an extremely passionate affair with with Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper of their estate. The story reveal that sexual relationship is the most profound. However, we tend to treat it lightly or with shame, just like how the young and the old take it to be.

A good read, and a good watch.
And of course, part of my love for the 1920s.
