Everybody must be diligently reading or distracted by the Olympics.

I've read about 30%. Philip has just arrived in Paris. I like the directness of the writing style. I definitely plan to read other works by Maugham in the future.

I have more sympathy for Philip than I would expect because sometimes he can be overly cruel and not very likable but then you get a glimpse of humanity and you want to cheer him on. It'll be interesting to see where the growth of his character goes. Will he becoming increasingly bitter or mature emotionally?
