I'm reading "Of Human Bondage"* during my lunch breaks at work**, and I'm at the point where Philip is about to literally starve to death, and I'm so worried for him! Granted, it's mostly his own fault, after blowing all his money on bad investments and Mildred the hooker, but still!
I hope he makes it, poor kid.
*I freely admit that before I started reading it, I assumed that "Of Human Bondage" was about African-American slavery in the 1800s. Oops.
**No, I'm not a pretentious jerk (I don't think so, anyway) - just trying to read some of the classics that I never got around to when I was younger.

About Me
- rockygrace
- I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.

Yeah, he makes it. If you like this one, you might like his The Razor's Edge. It's not as literary a novel but I liked it better.
I assumed it was akin to The Story of 'O'. Silly me!
Whoooaaa, Bridgett, you shoulda put a "spoiler alert" on the front of that!
And Danger, I like your thinking.
Well, I figured you knew that because otherwise, the book would end pretty abruptly without a main character and you still had a bunch of pages to go. I didn't tell you how he got out of the jam, anyhow.
Yeah, I was pretty sure he wasn't gonna up and croak with another hundred or so pages to go.
