Sommerset Maughan revisited
Selina Hastings (who wrote earlier about Mitford and Waugh) wrote a new biography, “The Secret Lives of Somerset Maugham”which is available on the kindle (and so iPad). As I like reading books more in de kindle app then in de the iBooks app (better usability, better selection and... lower prices...). Strangely enough not many people read Maugham books or plays anymore and that while he was for much of his (very long) life “the most famous writer in the world.” - and one of the best selling.
So while I am am reading Selina's book I am planning to reread “Of Human Bondage," and “The Moon and Sixpence” both published in early part of the twentieth century. Let's see if Sommerset stands the attack of time.
PS If you were wondering what the secret life of Sommerset was all about: he was married but spend most of his time with young guys at his estate in the Provence ;-)
