Generic title, huh?
Alright, I admit, this idea wasn't very original. I was sitting watching Julie and Julia and she said something that really stuck with me. The motivation for her to use cooking as her quest was because that was what calmed her. She loved cooking. The world made sense when she was cooking. Well, for me, that's reading.
Enter Doctor Who. It was about that time that I was watching season four, which included the Agatha Christie episode. Well, it was just meant to be. So I've started on a little quest of my own. I'm going to read every Agatha Christie book. Every last one. That's 66 novels, 22 collections of short stories, and 6 novels written as Mary Westmacott. I'm sure my numbers might be a little skewed, but that's the run down as near as I can figure it.
I had originally thought I might set myself some kind of time limit on this, but I realize now that there is no way I could adhere to that. Some of these collections might be really hard to track down, so who knows how long it will actually take me? But I feel good. I have a quest. A purpose. And it involves books. So yeah, I'm pretty excited.
