I really tried with this, I hate DNFing books - especially classics. But this was just becoming torture. I was listening to it as an audiobook and even though the narrator was good, there were times where I'd rather just sit in silence than listen to it. Doing nothing was less boring than listening to this. It's such a shame because D.H. Lawrence had some really interesting things to say in regards to relationships, classism, the war, worker's rights, women's pleasure and the lack of it during intimacy with men... but jesus, some of the dialogue went on for FAR too long. I'd find myself zoning out for minutes at a time and when my focus came back to the audiobook, there were still having the same exact conversation and it had gone nowhere.
