Hey @CSeydel is hosting a lovely LOW-BUDGET BOOKSWAP for July all about Short Story Collections!

Head over to her page for details, it's going to be lots of fun! 🎉🎉🎉

CSeydel Woo hoo! Thanks for joining in, and for sharing! 6y

Collected Short Stories | William Somerset Maugham

Some people read for instruction, which is praiseworthy, and some for pleasure, which is innocent, but not a few read from habit, and I suppose that is neither innocent nor praiseworthy. Of that lamentable company am I. Conversation after a time bores me, games tire me, and my own thoughts, which we are told are the unfailing resource of a sensible man, have a tendency to run dry. Then I fly to my book as the opium-seeker to his pipe...
