The Razor's Edge | W. Somerset Maugham
post image

Yesterday went into the used bookstore with daughter. She was looking for the last 2 books in the Traveling Pants series (found them). Of course I had to get these ☝️for myself 😊. The Maugham is a #blameitonLauraBeth purchase. @LauraBeth did you read this title (the only one of his there)?

Jess_Read_This I love Maugham's writing. Cakes and Ale had me hooked! 7y
DivineDiana @ValerieAndBooks Love these! Was it a local used bookstore? 7y
LauraBeth I haven't read this one but want to! I've read Cakes and Ale and like @Jess_Read_This said - it had me hooked 😀 7y

Dragon Razor 's Edge is a good book. Bill Murray did a rather terrible movie based on the book. The book is better. 🐉 7y
Jinjer I love the covers of the two on the right!!!! 7y
LeahBergen I liked The Razor's Edge. 👍🏻 7y
andrew61 Christadora is one i want to try, and Maughan I've not read for years and want to revisit - great choices 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Jess_Read_This @LauraBeth that title, Cakes and Ale, has me hungry (and thirsty)! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @DivineDiana yes, a local used bookstore -- in West Chester. Second Reading II on High Street (in a strip mall). FYI for the month of August all trade paperbacks are 50% off. I think they normally go for $3 each. And on Th, F, Sat every week they have a fill-a-bag for $17 (they supply the bags but I'm usually able to carefully pack about 12-15 books in it)! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Dragon hmm, now I wonder if I saw that movie 🤔. If I'm not sure, it probably was forgettable 😂. And we know books are always better ! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Jinjer so do I! I'm a sucker for almost anything Penguin (the lower right) 😊 7y
ValerieAndBooks @LeahBergen good to know! I think this will be high in my TBR (depending on my mood, of course 😂)! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @andrew61 Christodora was on my radar because of Litsy. I'm starting to think I might have read at least one short story by Maugham but if so, it was long ago! 7y
andrew61 @ValerieAndBooks i think in my teens/20's i read of human bondage and cakes and ale - i looked at the first a few weeks ago and the print ws so small and book so big i doubted id read it and put it back 😞 may try again ☺ 7y
DivineDiana @ValerieAndBooks Thank you! I was actually in West Chester today! 😉 7y
ValerieAndBooks @andrew61 I know what you mean about the ever-shrinking print!! Maybe you can find a copy in an edition that's easier on the eyes 👀 . 7y
ValerieAndBooks @DivineDiana 😄. Oh! Do you know that Chester County Book Company (on Paoli Pike) is now an book outlet-type store? Pretty much all remainders. No atmosphere but good prices. 7y
DivineDiana @ValerieAndBooks I forgot that! Need to visit! I loved the old store! 😕 7y
