one of my favorite books is "Of Human Bondage".some recent events have made me think of it
it's a REALLY good book, definitely deeper than just the words on a page.
it's about this guy named Phillip with a physical deformity. he meets a skank named Mildred & instantly falls in love. he is disgusted with her, but she turns him on.
eventually he spends all of his money on her(life savings, inheritance, etc) & she ges pregnant by another man
(in an era where premarital sex was not so "normal").
she runs away to become a prostitute & he starts a new relationship. Mildred comes back to find him happy & tries to break it up (of course). the book ends with Mildred dying of an STD while Phillip tries to save her.
it is A LOT like my own relationships (Mildred & M could be twins). i bought the dvd with Bette Davis & Leslie Howard(from GWTW) at the dollar store.lol.
it's hard for me to watch it,though. way too painful & cuts right to the bone. Bette Davis is a hoot, she goes all the way, plus nothing can top when she wipes her mouth after he kisses her. "You're a mug, Phillip. A mug!" classic!
