Recently finished three books:
While the Light Lasts by Agatha Christie. The last unread fictional work by her in my "Agatha Christie Reading Challenge". A book of miscellaneous short stories, each of which has an interesting write on about its history. Recommended.
License Invoked by Robert Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye. An "urban fantasy" novel I bought from Baen in March 2001. Liz Mayfield, special agent for the British government Office of Occult & Paranormal Sightings Investigation (OOPSI) is assign to guard Irish folk rock singer Fionna Kenmare on a tour of the United States, because the singer claims to be under occult attack. An enjoyable piece of fluff. No depth to it, but a fun was to pass an evening or two. Recommended.
Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie. A short book Christie wrote in 1944 describing her experiences in the mid 1930s accompanying her husband, Max Mallowan, on archaeological expeditions in Syria. Absolutely fascinating, and hilariously funny. If you haven't read this gem, you really should. VERY highly recommended indeed!
