Spending Life Living

Goosey: LOL WHAT
Goosey: So I'm opening this book to find the copyright date, and I glance at the very first page inside the cover and it's a brief biography of the author, D.H. Lawrence.
Goosey: The first sentence of the last paragraph is what catches my eye: "Lawrence spent most of his short life living."
Goosey: Oh, that's nice, did he spend part of it DEAD?
Goosey: The next sentence doesn't make it any better: "Nevertheless he produced an amazing quantity of work -- novels, stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, translations and letters .. ."
Goosey: WRITING IS DEATH
ThePhan: Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: "He lived for most of his life, but he managed to write some books anyway."
ThePhan: That is amazing.
Goosey: I mean, I see what the writer here was TRYING to say "Lawrence had a busy life and did lots of other stuff besides writing" but it just comes off so FUNNY
ThePhan: It really does.
