We also had this topic in the last forum and it got a good response as well so I thought I'd Bring it back.

What AC book are you reading right now and how far are you?

I was reading HP's Christmas and got about half way though, but I decided to switch to The Mysterious Affair at Styles when I saw the book club Invite (Hint Hint Its Below "Have your Say" in the black box above)

What about you?

I've just finished The Murder of Roger Ackroyd again and then decided to watch the accompanying television episode - big mistake!

This Morning I started to Re-read Lord Edgware Dies It was one of the First I read but I am sure it can't have been the first or I wouldn't have read anymore as I felt annoyed at the end, but I think I got fed up with it long before then and kept on looking at the end but as It was one of the ones I had in Paperback I have fond memories of it, I must have been in my Teens when I read it about 20+ years ago.

I am currently reading "Murder on the Links".  Appears to be a pretty good book.  Nice pacing.  Just finished "Cat Among the Pigeons".  I liked the book, but the movie differed from the novel in many ways.  The book was better.  I found it odd though that Poirot doesn't enter the book until page 153!  In a novel just over 200 pages.  What's with that?

I shall be sure and tell you Ray, I have started it, Poirot didn't appear until Page 76, It took me no time to read that much, At the moment I am enjoying it, I think I must have first time but as I can't remember alot of it perhaps not, It is Classic Christie, I will tell you how I get on.

Please let me know how it goes, Tommy! I haven't read it in English. I had only read it in another language when I was a very small child and quite easily bored; I don't remember anything from the story but I do remember that I finished the whole book, so I shouldn't think it was so bad.

I am going to start re-reading The Mystery of The Blue Train this evening I don't remember it being as bad as everyone says

Tommy_A_Jones 30 Sep 11 at 11:43 a.m. GMT

noozer, if you want to read another Poirot read Cards On The Table or read a Book with a Different sleuth like A Murder is Announced or The Secret of Chimneys

de_misteri 30 Sep 11 at 6:23 a.m. GMT

I'm reading Curtain: Poirot's Last Case. The book I really want to read is And then there were none :) 

MissSnoozer 25 Sep 11 at 11:58 p.m. GMT

I've only read Murder on the Orient Express and Peril at End House.  Which one do you all suggest I read next? I've enjoyed both books so far.  Thanks a lot!

Tommy_A_Jones 02 Sep 11 at 12:16 p.m. GMT

In am going to re-read The The Murder of Roger Ackroyd later. 

ErkutSoyer 28 Jul 11 at 8:18 p.m. GMT

ErkutSoyer 23 Jul 11 at 8:39 a.m. GMT

I'll start to read Third Girl 20 minutes later.

LauraPoirot 30 Jun 11 at 3:34 p.m. GMT

I re-read The Abc Murders at the moment. It's the first Christie I read twice.

Hercuel_Poirot_7 30 Jun 11 at 1:46 p.m. GMT

I' am now reading "Mrs McGintys Dead".

Dolly_B 28 Jun 11 at 10:18 p.m. GMT

I think I'll re-read "Three Act Tragedy",   otherwise known as "Murder in Three Acts"  I just ordered the DVD from Amazon and want Agatha Christie's own words to be fresh in my mind when I view the video.  I have a feeling it's going to changed a lot from her book.  Has anyone seen the video?

Tommy_A_Jones 13 Apr 11 at 3:03 p.m. GMT

I have started to re-read Curtain

Tommy_A_Jones 23 Mar 11 at 3:16 p.m. GMT

Snap Wildflower, I am re-reading that one, I am going to do what you are doing with some differences, I am reading Curtain afterwards as I haven't rated either then read the others in order with the exception of ones I can't face reading again so not Peril At End House, The Big Four, Death Comes s The End, Endless Night, Passenger to Frankfurt and They Do It With Mirrors and afew short stories.

I don't have any Mary Westmacott stories and I haven't read the plays yet.
