P.S. Yes, *DO* get around to reading Agatha Christie books. There is a REASON she is a classic, and has lasted so long!!!!

Every thread should be about sleeping/napping and loving it!

I read Murder on the Orient Express YEARS ago (like 5th grade) and did a cute little project on it, but I don't think that counts anymore.

I don't think the order of reading matters at all, with Agatha Christie books. I've never noticed a tie in of characters or anything. There are a couple of books marked "<sleuth's> last case" which should probably be saved for a while, but other than that..... Dive right in! You are missing out on a Very Good Thing!

This is what came up.

I have bought the rest of the series in Oz in pbooks without any trouble.

It's lovely to be able to let off steam at MR.

Try changing your country of residence in your profile. See if that helps. If not, try the same at Fictionwise or Books On Board.

I'm mad. This thread has no chocolate in it, yet. Nor llamas. Remedy incoming!

Now we just need some chocolate ducks (or chocolate eggs laid by the Soul Cake Duck....)

Oh, well, that's fair enough then. I'd almost certainly be doing the same (though, to be honest, with a tendency towards turning the air blue beforehand

).

Cheers,
