Hope you all enjoy your games tomorrow. I plan on getting into a good mystery. Not sure which I’ll choose. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to do nothing but snuggle up and read. It got all the way up to 18 today. Had a bunch of errands to run, but only needed a wind breaker ‘cause the sun was out.
Leaky……I grew up with Agatha Christie! I have about 60 of her books. And, yes, I LOVE reading them over and over! The first one I read was The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and I was hooked ever since!
That might be a great winter project. Thanks for suggesting that!
I.m a science fiction lover. Favorite author is Robert A Heinlein. Favorite literary characteris Lazarus Long, who is a principal in some of Heinlein’s novels.
Like Louie LaMore, too. Not just his westerns. The Marching Drum is a historic novel that you hate to put down, but it’s too long to read in one sitting. It is a long story.
Problem I have now is that I’m not taking the time to read much of anything. I’m four weeks behind on my “Time” magazines and, months behind on my Smithsonians and my National Geographics. Bad me!!. :-(((((
@ Montana Lady, Tis the season to be readin’
James Patterson my fav. for murder/mysteries.Been
usually cold here in SE GA ,Savannah area near the coast
60’s/50’s. Will be catchin’ up on his lastest novels.
Helped decorated the Christmas tree in our clubhouse
yesterday, tryin’ to get in the spirit (ba humbug) heh heh
Slim, me too. I had the privilege of meeting Heinlein once, at a space conference. He had just released “Friday” and I got his autograph on the book. I liked Jerry Pournel too until I met the paranoid S O B in person. Right now I’m into Harry Potter and I’m reading the series for the 18th time.
ML, the first mystery I ever read was an Ellery Queen. That got me hooked, but good. Like you I have LOTS of Agatha Christie, plus Ellery Queen, Rex Stout (Nero Wolfe), Dick Francis, Dorothy Gillman (Mrs. Pollifax), Erle Stanley Gardner (Perry Mason - I bought every Mason book he ever wrote as a gift for my husband who is a HUGE Mason fan) and even some of Jessica Fletcher’s books (yes Angela Lansbury’s face is on the cover of every one of them).
Slim, I also enjoy Sci Fi, and have a large collection of Heinlein, Clark, Asimov, EE “Doc” Smith, HG Welles, Jules Verne and Allen Dean Foster with a few strays thrown in for good measure. I even have all of Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars books. And yes, I’ve read every last one of them at one time or another. Lazarus Long (or Woody Smith if you prefer) is also one of my favorite characters. Then of course there’s Valentine Michael Smith and Johan Sebastian Bach Smith - Heinlein seemed to like the surname Smith, didn’t he?
Jan, Jack is a SciFi fan, like you. I just stick to the murders. He keeps telling everyone that some day I’ll poison him…..what with all the ideas from my books!
Didn’t know there were Jessica Fletcher books. I’ll have to hunt them out!
SweetBill…I’ll have to check out James Patterson as well.
We woke up to a gorgeous effect from an ice fog. Everything is coated, and the fog is still lingering, giving a really eerie look to everything. (3 degrees!!!)
Jack just said that Robert Scheckley is one of his favorite SciFi “with a twist” authors. Read them in the 50s and 60’s. You might want to hunt them up.
Being 10 minutes to noon, I’ll just say, … Good afternoon everyone.
ML….. 3 degrees. It has been decades since I was anywhere near that kind of cold….Early 80s, i think. The fog, though. I’ve never been around freezing fog, I can only imagine the look of everything having a coat of frost on it. As for the eeriness, I love the sight of fog among the trees, and you are right, it is indeed eerie!

Montana Lady …. Agatha Christie has great murder mysteries. They’re worth reading twice.

Good morning everybody, second sunday in advent, where did the year go. (my thumb pointed over my back)
MontanaLady and all interested: The movie in question.
Metropolis (has nothing to do with superman).
Directed by Friz Lang, a silent film.
As for reading I like sci-fi/fantacy, and of cource the comics.
Well, I might be back again today.
TTFN \\//_
