Even though you may not read her now, many did when they were younger. Any favorites? Any comments on her books?

I consider a play a novel if it is converted into a book.

i have only read "and then there were none" but i found it AMASINGLY good, well written, gripping, estatic, and i just couldnt put it down. my teacher had to tap my shoulder when we were standing up for the pledge of allegince in the morning beacuse i was too into the book to notice, ha. it was realy good though

I love Miss Marple and Murder at the Vicarage as well as The Body in the Library and A Murder is Announced. I've always wanted to live in an English village like St. Mary Mead. Miss Marple mysteries are like "comfort books" to me. Very well-written comfort books.

I've lost count of how many of her books I have read...I love her to death.

Faves: Evil Under the Sun
The Murder of Roger Akcroyd
Appointment with Death
A Carribean Mystery

This will probably sound incredibly nerdy, but I love reading her books in an environment which reflects the novel itself.
For example, with Death on the Nile, I like to sit in the sun and read, with a house bound tale like Akcroyd, I close the curtains and dim the lights, and feel the ambience...

There you are. begin your mockery.....

It doesn't sound nerdy at all, it sounds fun, however, I did get a mental image of someone on a barge floating down (up?) the Nile, reading, with a stack of books at his side.

Yeah, that's me, wandering the world with a spoon and 48 books.....
haven't been to the Nile yet tho'....
