2020: 100 years of Agatha Christie

[Lee Stone]

The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie's first published novel, was printed in October of 1920.

I've been meaning to read all of her works but have never followed through with it.
Maybe this will give me the inspiration to finally do it.

100th Anniversary is not until next year and we have a thread like this

I searched for "Agatha" and didn't find one.
Do you have the link?

Well there's an old (August 2016) thread called "Agatha Christie's sleuths: Which one is your favorite?" and a more general "Crime / Mystery Books & Stories: Buy or Read Any Recently?" thread, but I would think this latest one is unique enough since it's tied to an upcoming 100th anniversary.

I have read many of Christie's mysteries in the past (a decade or three ago) but don't think I've read quite half of her mystery output! (Wikipedia puts it at "66 detective novels and 14 short story collections".)

Also of possible interest is the Agatha Christie website:

I'm a slow reader, so it'll likely take me to 2020 (or beyond!) to read all of them.

I also have The New Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Chrisite but I've been careful not to read the entries for the books I haven't read, yet. Although, I'm sure I've seen most of the stories in film or tv by now.

When I was growing up, I remember reading 'The Mirror Crack'd' and 'And Then There Were None', alongside books by Stephen King and other horror authors.
We had such an interesting assortment of books laying around.

Well there's an old (August 2016) thread called "Agatha Christie's sleuths: Which one is your favorite?" . . .

By the way, that thread's poll at last check had:

Hercule Poirot = 5 votes
Miss Marple = 4 votes
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford = 3 votes

and no votes (so far) for Ariadne Oliver, Colonel Race, nor for Superintendent Battle.

I am looking forward to the new movie version of "Death on the Nile" in 2020.
