"Of Human Bondage", by W Somerset Maugham had been on my shelf for awhile when I decided to read it. I wished, as I do with a lot of books I have, that I had read it sooner.
Maugham writes the human condition very well, and while the book is almost 700 pages it never gets slow. The story centers around Phillip, who's life is followed from childhood well into adulthood. Phillip has it harder than most, his mother dies in the first chapter of the book, leaving him alone in the world except for his aunt and uncle with whom he goes to live. The whole story deals with Phillip finding his way in the world. He is particularly bad at relationships and in finding what it is that he wants to do. He goes through one hardship after another and attach's to people that are not the best of influences. He is constantly trying to find himself through all of these characters he meets, and slowly but surely he eventually finds himself. Not though before he has to go through a lot of other things first.
If you want to read Maugham, try this out. You won't be disappointed.
