I'm reading John Mack's biography (which won a Pulitzer Prize) and at one point he starts describing how Lawrence's mother would spank/beat him to administer punishment and I'm just thinking "Dude...TMI." Granted he did get a lot of the info directly from friends and family members but still...I can't help but think how mortified I'd be if people tried to draw conclusions about my behavior as an adult from the fact that my mom spanked me.

The movie, at least, is fictionalized so I never really get that feeling. There's enough layers of separation.

Although Peter O'Toole is SO TALL compared to Lawrence. O'Toole is 6'2: (188 cm) while Lawrence is 5'5" (166 cm).

Hey, you should read about Rousseau's spanking fetish in his Confessions. They're online. It's awesome. :)

OTOH, there's a reason flagellation was called "the English vice"...

But O'Toole was so very beautiful in that movie; I'd rather have him than someone who's of the right height.

I...personally would not recommend A Prince of Our Disorder. It all gets a bit 'his mother caused everything because that's what happens with homosexuals, obviously'. Lawrence and his mother clashed a lot (possibly because they were actually rather similar) but she was hardly abusive.

Unsolicited rec: Lawrence in Arabia by Scott Anderson is so good. So good. Less a straight biography than a history of the region following a couple different actors (including an American, a German, and a (Palestinian?) Jew. But the Deraa Incident is examined in some detail.

I am just starting that one! Glad to hear it's good. As straight bios go, I thought Hero by Michael Korda was very good and comprehensive.
