Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham It has been quite a few years since I read this novel, but I thought it was absolutely terrific and I remember it vividly. The story opens when the main character Philip is a lonely young boy with a club foot being raised by his aunt and uncle. As soon as he...
A neglected work by the author of 'The Yellow Wallpaper'. Opinions here are split on 'Herland', recognizing it as a seminal (uh) work of feminist thought at the start of the 20th century, and yet ultimately limited in its vision of female freedom.

A lot of this was written to deadline and out of a need to pay bills, so its not polished and repolished, its got a similar feel to some of some of the great classics of the...
