I'm also about 30% through with him in Paris and just started art school. Am quite enjoying it and wondering why I had never read any of Maugham's work before, so maybe The Moon and Sixpence sometime soon (which I think also includes an abandonment of a current career to become an artist??).

I am another that likes the way Maugham brings the characters to life and the directness and clarity of the prose.

Its short chapters also makes it easy to pick up and read in short sessions and that suits me.

I was pleasantly reminded, by his use, of one of those words that to me looks and sounds just like its meaning - squiffy

. Will keep it in mind for use on some suitable occasion; not for referring to me in that, you understand
