Judging a book by its cover

Hey Audrey

Did you like reading novels? I'm sure you've read many a script in your day, but novels are different ( I think). Books are good friends. I love reading them, and I obsess about their covers. Like these ones, both novels by W. Somerset Maugham. (what an author, wow!) I stare at these two covers for hours, trying to decide if I prefer the Modern Library's photographic treatment, or the simple illustrative version by Vintage. Which one do you like?
