Somerset Maugham. No review here. Just recording that I read it for the second time during the summer vacation. Entertaining. I liked his characters although more fastidious critics criticize on on that point and many others.

 

It was an important book during my formative years. I liked the authors of that pre-war period. If you have to pick one, however, pick F. Scott Fitzgerald or, one of my idols, Hemingway.
