What an interesting book, truly. Ah yes, a classic. But I honestly was so annoyed at the MC and his … predicament? That‘s not the right word. 🧐 Anyway, I didn‘t listen to this straight through; very happy I had the Cliffs Notes (ahem, written in 1963!!!) and almost maybe wish this could be a college level course exploring the author, this dang book AND the films 🎥 of which I hope to see someday. Might be a tough sell to Hub. 💖

BkClubCare And no, the squirrel 🐿️ doesn‘t have anything to do with the book. 1d

plemmdog I loved it, but yes, you want to shake the narrator. I saw an amazing stage production of this in Canada a few years ago, and even the audience groaned each time Philip caves in to Mildred. 1d

BkClubCare @plemmdog - well, he redeems himself in the end, it‘s just a tortuous HEA 24h

Of Human Bondage | W. Somerset Maugham

I don‘t really have a quote to share but wanted to post that I am at the halfway mark and our MC is not the easiest guy to cheer for right now. Also, am listening, as well, and have started thinking in an English accent - kinda weird?

Philip has fallen hopelessly stupidly in love with Mildred and honestly, it is annoying to be in his head right now. Ugh
