Anyone here have any mystery novel recommendations? Am wrapping up all the Nero Wolfe I have access to, have already been through all the big names now...
Full on novel or short story
Either-or.
There’s a really really good Sherlock one that I can go find the name of
“The Adventure of the Speckled Band”
Agatha Christie.
Anything I can get my bookwormy little paws on. I've probably read it, I've been through most of Sir A. Conan Doyle's writings
Ahh you read that one?
It’s a pretty popular one
@Alphonsus I've read some, but that's a good point- I'll get back into it
Honestly, her literature was pretty powerful.
And yeah, good story. I like Holmes
Agreed
When I was in high school, I played a character in a play of hers
An Appointment with Death
I was Lennox, a suspect
You just really into mystery?
I had such a bad time memorizing my lines that I carried a book around (fit the character) with my lines in it just in case
@shinjitsu I go through phases, on and off stuff; been in mystery before, this bout has been a couple months. I'm a film guy too, my last phase before mystery was Western movies, watched all the great Eastwoods and Waynes and all that
Nice that’s pretty cool
Fair enough
My top genera of fictions is definitely science fiction
I've read... Everything
Like

Sleep u fool
Say the rosary first tho
Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein, Philip K. Dick, H.G. Wells, Verne, Clarke (not a big Clarke fan but I read everything of his dammit), Crichton...
Plus much more
Damn
Thing is, in middle school and high school I read voraciously. I'd go through a couple books a week usually. So you get a lot in
Like
For a couple months, I looked up bestselling sci-fi books from each year, 1930-1990, and read all of them. Some were hot trash, but most were alright
I love Asimov, probably my favorite author
Up there with Wodehouse
Hmm wish I could comment more on the subject 😂
Lol it's all good
I probably read too much, or at least too much fiction (though I read non-fiction too, history being my biggest hobby)
I blame my mom
