Jeannie in NJ Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 when I was waiting for my dd to arrive (almost 17 years ago) to keep my mind off the wait, I went to used bookstores and eventually bought each and every A. Christie mystery and read them all. Well, to keep myself from going nuts with waiting for our house to sell, I have started re-reading all of the books again. I have actually forgotten the ending to each of them so it will be like I have never read them before. I am not going to rush thru them, will just take my time. Of course if and when our house sells, I will put the books aside to move lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex-mex Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks to copyright expiring, you can also get downloadable (40 + FREE) books of most of Poirot and some of the Miss Marple mysteries. I used to read them on my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I love Agatha Christie! Great idea but I hope your house sells and you have to stop! I read pretty much all of them while adjusting to life in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I love Agatha Christie books! I haven't read through them all yet so I'm not up to rereading them yet but I could see myself trying that in the future. I just picked up And Then There Were None from the library today.Do you have a favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My Dd13 reads them too. Tuppence ones are the best-- Secret Advisary By the Pricking of my Thumbs N or M Partners in Crime Postern of Fate Another good character group in: The Secret of the Chimney Seven Dials Mystery Have fun reading!

Jeannie in NJ Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I don't know if I really have a favorite, sometimes I am in the mood for Poirot and sometimes for Miss Marple. I like her earlier books (from the 20's, 30's 40's) the best. Some of her later books, she tried too hard to be modern or 1960's "hip".

KAM Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I keep meaning to do this too! I actually read them all as a teenager and loved them so much! Hopefully I have forgotten the endings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freerange Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 My Dd13 reads them too. Tuppence ones are the best--Secret Advisary By the Pricking of my Thumbs N or M Partners in Crime Postern of Fate ! Ds and I agree. The dd's are currently listening to Secret Adversary as their bedtime story. They love the Poirot series with David Suchet, so I thought the Poirot books would be disappointing to then at this stage. The Tommy and Tuppence books are more character focused.

Jen in PA Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have reread several this year, too. I never really liked Miss Marple when I was younger, but now I am really enjoying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
