One thing I missed during my childhood was reading all of Agatha Christie books, I hardly read 4-5 of them. I was hoping a day would come and I could get hang of many of Agatha Christie books and read them and over come my childhood guilt.
Last 2.5 weeks have been lucky for me, I gotta read 4 books in total and 3 of which are Agatha Christie.
I finished my goodreads reading challenge for the year which was 5 books in 2021, I now surpassed it with count being 6.
Out of the 6 books I have read, 3 happen to be Agatha Christie.
1. Mysterious affairs at styles.
2. Murder on the links.
3. Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
I shall be reading few more, especially the ones which have good rating on good reads.
But reading Christie has been pure fun and reliving childhood memories is just priceless.
Cheers to Christie and simple life!
And now after back to back Christie, I switched over to short stories. After Tagore's short stories, I was looking for a good follow up one. But many of the time, I was left disappointed. I tried to read Shashi Deshpande, could not connect, I read Ruskin Bond, and it got over too soon.
And then I now got Short stories by Satyajit Ray, translated by Gopa Majumdar.
I felt what better way to celebrate centenary birth year of the legend Ray than reading some of his short stories. its a mammoth 500 pager waiting to be read by me..
One thing I lost by this back to back reading is not being able to play on my play station :(
