I seemed to recall you reading it...Margaret: Yes... I seemed to recall you reading it and liking it, though I may be mixing it up with The Man in the Brown Suit. Funny how she isn't really known for the sense of humour in her books so when you come across it it can take you by surprise. The chapter, 'An evening at Mah Jong', had me in fits!<br /><br />I do think not all books suit everybody and, yes, often it can just be that you're not in the mood for a particular subject. It happens to me a lot. Plus it is an odd time of year... the weeds have have put on growth spurt over the last week! And I'm distracted by my husband's knee operation... it's been postponed for a couple of medical reasons so we're running around like headless chickens trying to solve the problems and get him operated on. Why is nothing ever simple!

And I agree with you about Agatha Christie's sense of humour - one of the reasons I enjoy her books.<br /><br />I began reading We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, which I borrowed from the library. Somehow I couldn't get into it and then I read somewhere what the big secret is and didn't want to read on, so I returned the book unfinished. Maybe it wasn't the right time for me to read it. I seem to be in that frame of mind at the moment - I pick up books, read a few pages and put the books down. Maybe it's that time of year - lots of other things to do that 'must' be done and I don't get chance to settle down for long with a book.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-5419281036667253032016-05-10T23:09:05.401+01:002016-05-10T23:09:05.401+01:00Kelly, The book is as good as people say.
