I found Of Human Bondage to be a superb book that gives a friendly look at human nature, wonderfully written and appealing.
We follow Philip Clarey from his handicapped, emotionally grave boyhood, through his young adulthood. Clarey is blemished yet likeable in his humanity and he is not obstinately imperfect, but at core good-hearted. The best part of the book is that we get to watch the character grow and learn as he makes his way up through many different echelons of English society of the early 20th century. This book is approximately 100 years old and being so it still can hold up in society today.
