Fascinating and funny

D.H. Lawrence's non-fiction is as good as his best fiction and these essays I would recommend for any curious and intelligent teenager (or adult if you missed them). They are about feminism, equality, democracy, art and travelling and every single one is worth reading. I read them when I was 20 and they have stayed with me ever since.

At one's home

On the Title essay: It is very fascinating to read a writer just narrating very common happenings that might happen at a ranch, like the unexpected meetings with porcupines and snakes. Dropping the writer's role and just experiencing everything as a common man would. One work in which Lawrence is not doing, what he is famous for: theorizing every occurence, phenomena of life as a part of a huger complex thing, which can be comprehended by us ,only with him as the mediator.
