BOOK RANTS (Passion for Books, Plain and Simple)
Third installment on Transcendentalism. Henry David Thoreau could be hilarious...

Nothing to brag about, but also nothing to be ashamed of. BOOK RANTS will carry on. Interesting comments on my last post of 2024...

It takes living life , traveling thru life , watching life to put them down on paper. Age and experience .

Hey - glad to hear someone else rave about THE SUMMING UP. I've read it six times.

This has got to be the best praise of a book I have ever come across on YouTube. Thank you. I do agree. None other than Ray Bradbury cited The Summing Up as one of his favourite books of all time. A compliment indeed.

Of Human Bondage was a book I could not put down. Became a fan . Just discovered these short stories on YouTube…

Maugham was one of the most popular writers in the USSR , every single family had a volume of W.S.Maugham’s work on their book shelves. Yet, in England I can hardly find anyone who knows about this great author!

Nice work - especially the line "Maugham was nothing if not clear." The Anglosphere Modernists absolutely despised Maugham as a writer beneath high art for that clarity, but their prolix drivel will soon be nothing but disparaged by posterity.

Thanks, you explained Maugham better than anybody. If I may dare to say that, as you said, he is a “classic”, an universal writer. Please go on telling your thoughts on the writers you love. If you are able to be a few minutes shorter, it is even better.
