1. Enjoyed reading Somerset Maugham's short story "The Book-Bag" while sitting in a diner eating a cheese, pepper, and ham omelette with home fries.

2. In Starbucks, the barista told me how she and her coworkers like to dip madeleines in cold foam. She gave me a free cup so I could try it out. Delicious!

3. Two Kpop groups put out performance videos that I had been wanting to see.

Spoilers alert

Impressed by the novel A House of Doors.

Somerset W. Maugham is a character in it called Willie. And it features a real-world collection of short stories by Maugham called The Casuarina Tree. They're about the white colonialists who served the British Empire in Malaysia.

The stories in it are each on Youtube.
The first two have featured very tense interpersonal relationships and murder.

> I took the paper and looked at the Chinese characters. They made an agreeable pattern upon it.
"Won't you also give me a translation?"
"Tradutore—tradittore," he answered. "You cannot expect me to betray myself. Ask one of your English friends. Those who know most about China know nothing, but you will at least find one who is competent to give you a rendering of a few rough and simple lines."

> "You have appealed to the machine gun and by the machine gun shall you be judged."

> "You have shattered the dream of our philosophers that the world could be governed by the power of law and order."

"When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me." — W. Somerset Maugham — — — #SomersetMaugham #quote #quotes #books #reading #meaningful #resonate #meaning

First book of the year was this, Somerset Maugham’s Christmas Holiday. Thought I’d get it in while it was still the season. Never has a cover and indeed a title been more misleading! Still I really enjoyed it and may read more Maugham. #SomersetMaugham #Christmas #ChristmasHoliday #Book #books #reading #AmReading #bookstodon
