DONE

  • Women in Love, D.H. Lawrence ✦✦✦✦✧

Found the dialogues unnatural and the mixed feelings quite offputting. The discussions of death and existentialism are great, however. Many quotes saved.

  • Watership Down ✦✦✦✦✧

Pretty engaging, insightful for a children's book. I would say that it is more suitable for teenagers, even though the subject (rabbit life) might seem too tame. I didn't like the El-Ahrairah tales very much, too kiddy, but overall the story is, again, rich in topics quite adult. Some clever remarks and funny moments, too.
