Sons and Lovers by Geoff Dyer, D. H. Lawrence
3.0

I particularly liked Lawrence's prose - I had expected it to be more convoluted and difficult to read, especially for someone like me who is not a native speaker. It's actually pretty easy to read and understand, apart from the occasional bit in the Nottinghamshire dialect and some archaic terms, which are well explained in the notes of my edition.
Sometimes I felt like the action was going way slower that it should, but I never thought of any of the chapters as "boring".
