    <body><![CDATA[	I read this book every few years—and enjoy it more each time.  In his early sixties and not knowing how much longer he might live, W. Somerset Maugham decided to set down in The Summing Up not so much an autobiography as his observations about life.  He then went on to live another 30 years (born...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63580649">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<em>The Summing Up</em> represents Maugham's life and philosophy in his own words. It is autobiographical in nature, though most of the work is concerned with Maugham's unique and fascinating opinions on the theater, writing, metaphysics, and the interesting people he encountered in his long and successful career. His style is very conversational and you feel yourself settling into an intellectual odyssey led by a man who lived life to its fullest. Sixty years after <em>The Summing Up</em> was published, Maugham's controversial insights and opinions continue to stimulate conversation and debate. This is one of the most entertaining, self-revealing pieces of all time.<br/><br/>]]>
