Subscribe at http://www.youtube.com/truthorfail John Green hosts Truth or Fail, bringing you facts that he wishes he didn't know about the greatest writers in English Literature.
It is my sacred duty to inform you that you have fail.
No indeed, D.H Lawrence had very few lovers in his life although there is some talk that he may have had affairs with both men and women, which just goes to show you that sometimes you have to write what you know and sometimes you have to write what you wish you knew but don't know because life in early 20th century England just doesn't allow for that kind of debauchery.
Moving on, fact one:
Hans Christian Andersen was so afraid of being buried alive that each night before he went to sleep he put a note by his bed that read 'I only appear to be dead'.
Or, fact two:
Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll had such bad Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that any time he touched an object once he had to touch it three times for luck.
