Tanvi, I am originally from Belgium (like our friend Poirot), but moved to Ireland a couple of years ago.

I am from Argentina. It's hard to find AC books here. Many aren't available anymore. I've managed to buy some when they came out weekly with a newspaper. I will start to buy them in english if i can't find them in spanish. I already read The Mysterious Affair at Styles in english so it's no problem.

Quick Question.. Count Andreny, PisiMare, na well, belgian in ireland, and tanvi... Are you reading this in your native languages or in English?

Do you mean this forum? In English. I don't think there is another language to read it in. If you mean AC books, the ones I've read I read them in my native language (Spanish) except for the Mysterious Affair at Styles. I'm going to start buying more of her books in English because I liked it very much and it wasn't hard to read in English.

Hi Tim

Almost all of Agatha Christie's books that I've read I've read them in english because it hepls me not to forget how to read and write in english. In everyday life I don't have many occasions to speak  or write in english.

I olso like to read them in english because in some cases the translation is not so good.

Thats sad.. I dont know what I'd do if books were hard to find. Do you mostly read them in Spanish when you can get them?

Hi I am from Australia and I read the books in English but here you can only get the books second hand unless you buy the first hand copes in another country and get them imported which costs heaps.
