Lady Chatterly's Lover (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&n Classics Trade Paper)

by D. H. Lawrence

The last and most famous of D. H. Lawrence's novels, first published in 1928, and quickly banned in England and the U.S. as pornographic. Mild by today's standards. (read review)

“Wonderfully crafted. The book may have been banned on grounds of vulgarity, but it hardly seems so. Its more sensual than voyeuristic and basically, a very simple story. The book talks explicitly about sex, but that's not the only content. It's also about loneliness, and love. The end is especially good...without a definite resolution, but in hope for a good one.”

“Really not worth it unless you have to read it for class or something. Or unless you want a man to tell you how you should feel when you're in love and how you should feel about sex and exactly how you can bring yourself to orgasm. Men!”

    “Dear Librarianwho; I googled John Thomas & it was around in the 19th c. meaning phallus. I wonder if anyone called John Thomas has ever married a Lady Jane ? Also why anyone would call their child that...it's not that uncommon, after all.

    There was a child in our town called Paranoyd & I once knew an Alias . Oh, dear !
