I've just finished reading another famous detective, Inspector Morse. I read "The Dead of Jericho", about Morse investigating the suicide of a woman he had wanted to date. It has a good twist at the end.
Aside for the bookshelf-full of med school books I HAVE to read, right now I'm rereading the Century of the Surgeon and the Century of the Detective. :) They're two very interesting sets of stories about the history of medicine and crime...Truly fascinating!(saving Agatha Christie to reread during the holidays :) )
Mod
I loved the PBS Morse series, but haven't got around to read any of his books. I'll have to add them to my list.
Mod
Mine was regular college, but I remember how hard it was to read for pleasure. I'd save all my books for the holidays too.

Mod
. It's the last book in the series (so far - fingers crossed). Dark fantasy. Really very good series.
Mod

Mod
and am almost finished with
.
Mod
and am now reading
- the title and cover are AWFUL but some of the stories are pretty good.
I'm about halfway through "The Arrogance of the French" written by an American journalist who was lived and worked in France for many years. It's a mixture of history and politics.
Mod
and
. Crimes had too many short stories and was hard to finish. Sexy Beast, if I ignored the title and cover, which are terrible, 2 out of 3 stories were pretty good. I'm now reading

I read that book awhile ago and thought it was really funny. The movie was good but not as good as the book.
Mod

reading "The Body in the Library". Agatha and I are renewing our friendship!!! Will be great to devote time to her again.
Just started Agatha Christie writing as Mary Westmacott " Absent in the Spring". Would love to hear comments on these writings.
Mod
Never did I realize that Agatha Christie was a author beyond Miss Marple or Poirot. I believe this is the finest work I have ever read from her. "Absent in the Spring" is brilliant.

I'm very curios what's it like.
Absent in the spring is on also my TBR list :p
I too will look for "A Daughter's a Daughter". We can compare. There are two more novelettes in this book.I will be reading them tomorrow. I am stunned by the quality of the writing.
Mod
The joy has just begun for you and the new Mary Westmacott read.
Absent in the Spring just makes me think of stream of consciousness.
Mod
, very good. Now I'm reading
.
Love to hear comments on "stream of consciousness" with Absent in the Spring? What genre will it fit into?
Mod
10 more pages until I finish Anne Holt What Never Happens. And then back to the second short novel by Agatha Christie writing under the pen name of Mary Westmacott called Giant's Bread. then to Sun Storm.
