W. Somerset Maugham: A Lesson in the Craft
This post is a summary of W. Somerset Maugham‘s book The Summing Up, in which he writes in an essay-like fashion on a number of topics related to writing and his life. Maugham was a prolific writer who had a lot of smart things to say about a great many things as you will soon see. As I read the book it became abundantly clear that Maugham’s insights to writing, life, of adjusting to the market and learning through trial and error, are all of a very high calibre. He was a disciplined guy.
Even though it is a rather short book (ca 200 pages), it is a no-bullshit-straight-to-the-point kind of book that one does not read lightly. Every page is important and it is easy to lose focus and forgo the point.

The Shallows
The Shallows – written by Nick Carr, is an insightful book.
At times it is boring and the point is made very slowly, but overall the main takeaways from the book are very important!
In this post I give a summary of the book along with a few thoughts of my own, then I state my own analysis of the implications of the book.
