Indeed, it took years for me to read only 18 from 30 stories but some years ago for some reason I decided to have a go and hopefully plan to finish these remaining 12 as follows: Rain, The fall of Edward Barnard, Honolulu, The luncheon, Mackintosh, The voice of the turtle, The judgement seat, Me Know-All, The poet, The mother, The promise, and The yellow streak. , second, go to some good public/university libraries or large bookstores for his works to find something short and enjoyably readable to read, that is, you may start with any short story in this volume and finally, try reading one of his any short novels before plunging into his famous "Of Human Bondage" (Vintage 2000).Īs for Maugham's newcomers, I would like to encourage them to try according to their reading capability.

However, these should not be the reasons why we don't read him at all first, nowadays we can conveniently visit to know him more at. I think it is one of the ways of the fleeting world when his popularity has normally decreased due to passing years into the 21st century, modernity, new young blood, etc. However, I kept reading on and on and had humble pride in reading him with relative enjoyment and due appreciation therefore, I've long owned my grateful thanks to Maugham's readable style, I think my English has thus been improved gradually from such seemingly intensive reading exploration. I think it is one of the ways o I recall my tough reading from each story due to my limited vocabulary, intermediate grammar and dialogs in various contexts some 50 years ago while in/after my college years.

So it is even meaninglesser (sorry, that was too tempting!) to summarise the excitement of one little gem after the other. That's all I have to say about Maugham's stories, as it is already rather meaningless to talk about the details of novels in reviews. Reading pleasure postponed is reading pleasure still to be enjoyed. So then I might as well have lunch with another book and go for dessert tasting later on. But like a short story within the short stories, they are unfortunately currently lost in transportation like home delivery dinners in corona times. I might actually have eaten so many of these snacks I can just skip the heavy dinner novel and go straight to dessert, which, obviously, will be served in the form of the second part of Maugham's collected stories.
