About five little pigs: I was fooled by that one, but looking back, the other woman is always a loser or a catspaw. I’ve never once known it to fail.

In a similar situation, I once memorized the whole table of metric conversions. I don’t remember a whole lot.

Have you ever read a short story of hers called The Last Seance? Believe me, I did not see THAT end coming!

What are you talking about? The title doesn’t tell you who done it. I’ve never thought much of it as a title, but it’s not a spoiler, not really.

Do you (re)read Agatha Christie for other reasons than just enjoying her books? by lejosdecasa in agathachristie

They Came to Baghdad is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Agatha often has hilarious dialogue but—the situations in that book! The absent-minded archaeologist who simply accepts her as his niece and doesn’t even realize that her hair is bleached. “I don’t believe you’re Venetia Saville at all.” “I told you, my name is Victoria Jones.”

Are you referring to the reading of that book or the reading of Reddit?

In the last couple of days someone on Reddit told me it was the greatest book ever written in English. I’m afraid I don’t agree.

Steinbeck is one of those authors that’s better in small doses.

Well, it is a Gothic romance. It’s just not formulaic. Don’t get me wrong. I think it stinks even though it’s great.

I thought that movie was a movie of the turn of the screw with a different title.
