After disappearing from the net for say a fortnight or so, I have managed to squeeze in quite a lot of reading, and wonders of wonders, I�read something other than British children fantasy books.

I have belatedly, very belatedly, started reading Agatha Christie. For someone who loves Sherlock Holmes to bits, this is a tad late, I admit. I completely fail. But I have wasted no time once I started, and ten Poirot novels, four Marple, three unserialised novels, two collections of short stories and three Tommy and Tuppence books later, (and I have not even made a dent into her massive collection), I am convinced that whereas she is the queen of whodunnit plots, she is horrid in what paltry attempts she had at communist/political thrillers. Tommy/Tuppence, I think falls in here. I found "Passenger to Frankfurt" interesting only in light of Herbert Marcuseapos;s One Dimensional Man - which had helped spark off youth revolutions that Christie would have experienced in her life time (and presumably disapproved) - otherwise, it was as Christie herself admits, completely fantastical, and I dare say, illogical and farcical. Poirot, in my eyes, is to Christie what Holmes is to Doyle - the ultimate creation, against which everything else falls short. Even Marple.

That said, "Ten Little Indians" ("And then there was none") was completely mindblowing even if it wasnapos;t Poirot. Any one has any other Christie title I have to read immediately? The woman is so prolific I am rather spoilt for choice.

I am not certain if they write detective novels the same way since. If there is, someone please let me know. I like Christieapos;s plots because the reader can actually attempt to guess for themselves - a genuine whodunnit - a lot of detective novels written for this modern day and age tend to be more thriller-like - where you are forced to live from page to page instead of trying to get ahead of the writer. I suppose part of it lies in the inventiveness of the likes of Doyle and Christie. After reading these classics, it is increasingly harder to come up with a plot that can outsmart the reader. For a while I thought Dan Brownapos;s Angels and Demons could attempt to meet that ingenuity, but his books became more disappointing.
