I've always been a Sherlock Holmes fan, but I can remember too many of the endings so I can no longer read them. Not until I manage to forget the endings again anyway. In the meantime I've been reading Agatha Christie's books. I've finished 6 or 7 of them now. I figure it'll take a few years to do. At first I was reading them in no particular order, but it became easy for me to forget which I've read after a while, so I started a spreadsheet to keep track. Now I'm switching to chronological order, if only because former stories are sometimes referenced and it'd be nice to have them in order. I also tend to enjoy the older ones a little more (so far).

Anyway I wonder if anybody else is doing this - tracking with a list. I mark down which I've read, and also add some notes and whether I solved the mystery. Good ol' Agatha is sure good at making me feel stupid.

Greg.
