more stuff
D.H. Lawrence is a great writer, but he's got the attitude towards sex of a fifteen year-old. It's the whole "I don't want to sully the beautiful girl of my dreams by having sex with her" disease that often afflicts young, overly sensitive guys of that age. To be fair, Lawrence owns up to it but I still think his whole attitude towards sex (which is a large part of his work) is a great distraction.
It's strange how life works. For his whole life, the writer Philip K. Dick lived in near-poverty. At times, he and his wife did not have enough money to pay the late fines on library books. In 1982, he died of a stroke. Since then, 12 of his novels have been made into movies, including, most famously, Blade Runner, Minority Report, The Truman Show, Total Recall, Impostor, Paycheck, and most recently, A Scanner Darkly. If he were still alive, he would be a millionaire many times over. Life just doesn't work out sometimes.
