    Hi! Just came upon the Literature Network by accident. Seems like a great site for those of us who want to broaden our knowledge in the field of literature. I just finished the Painted Veil by Somerset Maughn, loved it. I love the authors of the 19th century as well as many contemporary authors.
    I am also a lover of poetry, music and history/politics.

    Somerset Maugham is often overlooked as a writer of substance; I was particularly impressed with Of Human Bondage and it remains one of my favourite novels.
    Welcome to Litnet!

    Hi! jgweed, have you read Little Dorrit? and if so what did you think of it? I think Maughan 's phrasing and depth of writing is beautiful.

    Welcome! One more entry to broaden the horizon of literature.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I have got there to look for some book for information to school. I was very glad to find the site like that. Finnally, I found this book after ages of seeking. I read 6 books from this site. I hope I will have time to read others.
