Wow Jumsumtak! With us going through the books and reading one a month, it's taking 7 years. Good luck!

Mel, we have a list actually called THE LIST https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... that names all of the books by order of publication. In fact, we've been reading a book a month in order of publication for a couple of years now. You can use that list if you'd like to keep track once again.

You have so much enjoyable reading ahead of you! Happy reading!
Well, a few days ago, I went to my Agatha Christie's bookshelf (yes, I have a bookshelf only for her books) and, as I already knew, with my collection completed, I only have one book that I didn't read yet. Now, I'm sad, the moment I finish that book, there is no more books of A. C. :(
It is sad to finish an author or a series. Re-reads are fun but new fresh reading is much better. :(

But there are a few I don't quite remember.
Now I'm happy to have a very valid reason to read them again :D

Thanks for the info!
I've read only 4 so far and I just borrowed 5 more in the library today.
Does anyone know how many Christie's books there are in total?

We have THE LIST!! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... that lists the books in publication date order. I know that it's takes about 7 years to finish her books reading one book a month :)


1.And Then There Were None
2.Death on the Nile
3.Murder on the Orient Express
and 4.Lord Edgware Dies;
Today I'm going to start reading The Secret Adve..."
Una, Murder On the Orient Express is one of my favorites!

I have also read her biographies and that of Max Mallowan.


I have to thank my auntie for my interest in Christie as she gave her whole collection when she bought new books with a better binding. I still have all those books, but now that I can speak (or, actually, read) English I rather read them in the original version.

Mainly Poirot and in no order whatsoever...
I'm 62 but there are a lot I'm not sure if I read or not so it might be higher. This was before I had Goodreads to help me keep track.

She was a great fan of Doyle. I also think that there are some similarities, i am not sure if she mimicked though.
I read 40 or more books by Christie, including her Autobiography and The Rose and the Yew tree under the nickname Mary Westmacott, which was different, a tragedy novel. I also have read a small book by her "The Last Seance", it was quite strange with a metaphysical aspect. She was a brilliant writer, she gave me such a thrill and i like her perception of human nature.
