I was really surprised at the resolution of that novel. Not by the identity of the killer—Stout told us that halfway through the book—but by the resolution of the story. I did not see that coming, and would not have believed it had someone told me.

'I finished The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd yesterday. 5 Stars, highly recommend.
I'm currently reading the rest of War Of The Worlds, it's a little slow but given the time it was written that's to be expected. But still a good read. Just like "The Time Machine" it's quite a bit different than both movies. And I just bought Endless Night by Agatha Christie, it sounded a bit different from her other work. Here's the description; Spoiler:

Just finished:
- The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Angel of the Opera by Sam Siciliano - This is kind of an odd Sherlock Holmes novel, because it is essentially a retelling of The Phantom of the Opera, but inserting the character of Holmes into the story. The reader is ahead of Holmes the entire time, because if you're even somewhat familiar with the original story you already know who the Phantom is and how the story will end. But, regardless, it is very well-written and very engaging. I enjoyed every page of it, despite the fact that there really is no mystery in the book. Currently reading: - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (66%) - A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin (56%) - A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin (38%) - Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain (~20%) [on hold] |

The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke
Just bought "The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke". This book, published by Gollancz in the UK, contains every short story (104 in all) ever published by Clarke, many of which are available here for the first time since the 1930s. An excellent book for "dipping into" by one of the "Grand Masters" of SF.
