I have never read any of Agatha Christie. but I think I will, while I still can, before it's...er...made "safe" for "sensitive readers", in other words before it's turned into garbage.

To be honest, I have been thinking about that myself in relation to the altering of old books. I'm with the TCM policy regarding their films - point out the things that are politically incorrect now, but don't excise them. On a personal note, just because some of the old books have insulting passages about my religion and/or ancestry doesn't mean I want them censored.

Kindle-wise, it's the short story The River's Warning (1902) by Hamlin Garland and another self-help book from Douglas Fairbanks - Laugh and Live (1917).
