Decided to reread some Agatha Christie because some friends and I have been watching Poirot.
Murder in Retrospect is still the best one, but Crooked House and Towards Zero are definitely up there.

reading A Talent to Deceive by Robert Barnard; it's a retrospective look at Agatha Christie's work and an attempt to answer the question of just why that work ended up so enduring and appealing. It manages to be appreciative without descending into hagiography (chapter two is talking about all those kind of racist world domination thrillers she wrote, like Passenger to Frankfurt and The Big Four), which I'm enjoying.

my Libby app has been filled up with Ursula Le Guin lately and she is now in my top five fantasy/sci fi authors of all time
her non-fiction writing is really good too
