Sons and Lovers

"She herself was opposite. She had a curious, receptive mind which found much pleasure and amusement in listening to other folk. She was clever in leading folk to talk. She loved ideas, and was considered very intellectual. What she liked most of all was an argument on religion or philosophy or politics with some educated man. This she did not often enjoy. So she always had people tell her about themselves, finding her pleasure so.." ...................................

This is an excerpt from the book, Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence..whew! after 3 weeks u've finally finished it..it was like a journey from the old times, set in old england. The comparison between the old english culture and now is fascinating. Funny how some things or how people behaved or lived..does still stay in the present culture right now. I meant was the promiscuous dating, the "relationship" between friends which does seem to mean more to them yet they have trouble expressing it, the fact that most men still follow their mother's choice ..its really amazing. I liked this book, not because it spoke of a man's confused emotions toward the important women in his life..but because of how..emotions were discussed, I loved the author's way of writing and describing them..Its interesting that sometimes, unaware as we always are..we affect people..by the way we feel about them.
