I finished Major Barbara, and the essays concerning Mr. Shaw and that work, however, I decided not to continue. Although I enjoyed the wit, and the window into some of the economic and philosophical thoughts of the times, there was too much preaching and pontificating for me. By the end of the play I was put in mind of Ayn Rand and her clever words and ideas which were ever so wrong, heartless and impractical at the core. People simply don't work that way. So, even though the dialogue was scintillating and effervescent and fun to read at first, it soon became very tiresome. I don't have the patience to read more of his works at this time because the essayists assure me that they are all written to be preachy and push his point of view.
