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.
I'm currently reading The Shadow Casket, which is the sequel to The Ember Blade by Chris Wooding. Loved the first book, so looking forward to this one too.

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.
