Of Human Bondage Read Along

Hey there!! Some of you expressed an interest in joining me for a read-along of Of Human Bondage. I’ve never read it, but when I was in the hospital recovering I began to mentally make a list of the books that I’ve always wanted to read and Of Human Bondage was one of them, and some of you so kindly said that you’d join me!
