What was the last book you read?
I never read as a boy. I had Dickens forced on me. Then I discovered Hemingway.
These days I read Simenon.

Simeon? You mean Inspector Maigret ? It's a great writing
I read less than I used to, guilty of too much mobile. Mostly read thrillers, travelogues, bio & some science text books. Plus some Bengali literature, too.

@SW-User I made a mistake in spelling Simenon.
Fiodor Dostoefsky is easier to spell - I can think of a famous German philosopher who is Shopping-where ? Dostoevsky is great but I lack the patience required to read the novelists of Russia. Perhaps the cold winter nights, when one can't go out, are conducive to fireside reading but I live in the tropics.
I read Somerset Maughm (he could have shortened it to Mom, but he was quite a snob in such matters) & his spy stories.
But I read and reread the story stories of O'Henry.
