Think I must have read most of AC’s books, some 80 or more, I think. Started to read them when I was in my teens, but I must admit that when I now try to reread any of them, I find that she is a bit too bourgeois, very English “stiff upper-lip” and some times even tending to be a bit racist. Today I prefer the TV-versions, especially the Poirot ones, they are marvelously characteristic of the period. And the actor playing Poirot is just right.

I have the Bedside, Bathtub book and love it. Though I have joined the challenge, I am not reading them in order. I just love the connection with others who love her writing. And I’m with Agatha – mostly I’ll let the books talk, rather than her life. :<)

I am so impressed by the Agatha Christie challenge. I think I’ve read (and re-read) most of Christie’s books, but I’ve never done it in order. I have the Bedside, Bathtub and Armchair Companion, but would love to read her autobiography and Agatha Christie’s England. I think I’m off to Bookmooch next to see if I can find a copy!

This looks like the perfect challenge for you. I’m kind of embarrassed to say I haven’t read any of Christie’s work.

I haven’t read it yet, but recently acquired a copy of Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Day by Jared Cade, about the incident in the 1920s where she disappeared for 11 days. I’m excited to get to it! My favorite Christie is And Then There Were None – still one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read!

What an interesting set of books! I had not read any Christie for a very long time but the festival in Torquay, the opening to the public of Greenway, and Kerrie’s blog has reignited my interest. My own contribution to the Agatha Christie week is up now, although not due with Kerrie till tomorrow I get confused with the time difference.

Margot: I wasn’t even aware of all the books about Christie until I had just read Miss Lemon’s post over at her blog as part of the blog tour, and now all this?!??!! It’s a regular treasure trove. Thanks for sharing it all.

Still haven’t read a Christie mystery (yes, it is embarrassing). I a copy of The Moving Finger, is that a good one to start with? I think it is a great challenge to read them in order, but you would expect that from me right?
