Free Downloads When I Was Old (Inspector Maigret)
An intimate inside look at the mind of Georges Simenon, immortalized here in his journals.In the 1960s, Simenon bought three leather-bound journals, planning to leave a record of his life and career for his sons. He was 57 years old, a best-selling author, and happily married for many years, and in these journals he began to reflect on the complexities of aging, relationships, and the life of a writer. When I Was Old, a collection of these writings, is an essential read for any fan of this prolific literary voice.

This is an autobiographical book about the author's sixties and I found it very honest and believable, but then I am a Simenon fan!His wife suffered from depression but he never connects that with his need for frequent sex with prostitutes, which seems rather odd for a man so deeply into psychology.Presumably he believed her when she said she didn't mind his behaviour?
