Vacation has allowed me to devote myself fully to this book. I have so much time now that I may even be able to finish this book before I go back to work.
The previous chapters were great. They consisted of: a short chapter on Lawrence's retirement and death, a chapter on his sexuality, and a final chapter that was an overall summary of his character.
The book is pretty much over, but I still read on.

I wonder what Lawrence's views on communism were considering that he told Churchill a few chapters ago that he thought that Lenin was a great man and he tried to get Trotsky asylum in the UK in this chapter. Something to research in the future.
Also, I'm surprised that Lawrence didn't like I, Claudius, a book that I very much enjoy. Too bad the book doesn't provide much detail on why he didn't like the book.

Poor Lawrence. His time in the Tank Corps was probably the worst period in his life. So much so that he even threatened suicide if he couldn't get back into the RAF. On a positive note, it doesn't look like he'll ever reach this low again for the rest of his life.

I've finally reached the penultimate part of the book, which covers Lawrence's final years and his time in the RAF. I know nothing about this part of his life, so it'll be interesting to see what he was up to before he passed away.

Never knew that Lawrence met Winston Churchill. Lawrence is more of a Forrest Gump character than I initially thought.
