Two more books completed:
The Web Between the Worlds by Charles Sheffield. The builder of the longest bridge in the world is commissioned by a reclusive billionaire to tackle a far greater challenge: building a "beanstalk" or orbital tower, which will connect the Earth directly to orbital space, and revolutionise the ease and cost of lifting materials into orbit. An excellent "Hard SF" novel which I bought from Baen in 2001.
Problem at Pollensa Bay by Agatha Christie. Short story collection originally published in 1991 containing 2 Poirot short stories, 2 Parker Pyne stories, 2 Harley Quin stories, and 2 "standalone" stories. Very enjoyable, although I'd read several of the stories before.
